- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease cookie sheets (I used stoneware and did not grease the stones).
- Blend flours, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter and brown sugar.
- Add orange extract, vanilla extract, and eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each one.
- Add flour mixture and stir until well combined.
- Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.
- Drop by rounded teaspoons on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly. (I open the oven about a minute before they are done and quickly flatten with a fork because I found the dough to be too sticky to flatten easily before baking).
- Bake 9-12 minutes, until edges are barely golden brown. Do not overbake. Even slightly underdone is o.k. so the cookies will stay soft.
- Store in an airtight container. Then eat for breakfast, or a snack, or whenever. Because, you know, these are healthy :).
