cream butter and sugar together. when smooth, add the eggs and vanilla continue beating until fluffy.

add the salt, soda. then add the flour a little at a time.

when the batter is smooth and all the flour well incorpoated, stir in the chips, raisins and pecans.

 

Take a teaspoon full and roll it into a ball. this will be a sticky batter (A little flour in the palm of your hands keeps the batter from sticking). Set on a cookie sheet a few inches apart.

 

Bake at 375 degres for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Set on a rack to cool. Depending on the size of the cookie the yeild is 3 to 5 dozen.

Enjoy, oops looks like a big 2 legged mouse got into one.
