Mom's Toasted Pecan White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mom, I know you were into these for a while, and rightly so. The toasted pecans make this a savory treat!

White Toasted Pecan Cookies 

1 1/4 cups whole pecans, or 1 cup chopped (Toast pecans first, to bring out more flavor.)
2 stks margarine (one stick I Can’t believe it's not butter & 1 stick Smart Balance Butter Blend...)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
½ tsp bak soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup Nestle Toll House premier white morsels (chips)

Preheat oven to 350. Toast pecans by placing in pan, in a single layer and bake for 6-8 minutes, stirring after  about 4 minutes.  They turn slightly darker brown and are more crisp when cool. Remove from oven to cool. (SO easy to walk away and let them burn, so resist the temptation!) Chop them if needed.

Mix margarine and sugars. Add egg and stir well.  Stir in remaining ingredients, including pecans. Place on non-greased cookie sheet in rounded teaspoon portions.  Bake for 11 min, even though they are not brown.  Let sit for 2 or more minutes to set before removing to racks to cool. Yield: approx. 50 cookies
