Directions:
Heat oven to 375. Melt chocolate chips in microwave on the defrost
setting (30% power) for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir. If needed, microwave 1 to
2 minutes more, just until chips are melted. Stir in chopped pecans. Set
aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add 1 1/3 cups sugar
gradually, beating until mixture is fluffy. Beat in vanilla. In a
separate bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add flour mixture gradually
to butter mixture. Add chocolate and pecan mixture in thirds, streaking
it through the batter with a long-pronged fork. Be careful to keep the
two colors as separate as possible, thus marbleizing.
Scoop or spoon dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press a pecan half
into the center of each cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake 16
minutes or until cookies begin to brown around the edges.
