The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies.... Crispy and Chewy

Y'all know I love me some Martha. Martha Stewart that is. I collect Martha Stewart Living Magazines and basically adore her. This month's issue was a "best of" with tons of delicioso recipe's I'm dying to try. Obviously the cookies were my number one priority. My family kept eating them going..."What is in these?! They are SO good". We ate all of them in 3 days. They were that good.

Ingredients:
2 3/4 c flour
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

1 1/4 C packed dark brown sugar
3/4 C granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 Cups semi-sweet choc chips (ghirardelli)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
