Rob's Big Cookies

Just about anywhere you go, you can smell cookies baking.  YUMMM
This cookie is named for my friend Rob who loved the holidays but loved cookies as much or more. This was one of his favorites.

Rob's Big Cookies 

1 Cup Granulated Sugar
3/4 Cup Light Brown sugar
1 1/2 Cups (3 Sticks) Butter, softened
2 Teaspoonfuls Vanilla
2 Large Eggs
2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
2/3 Cup Cocoa
1 teaspoonful Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoonful Salt
1 10-12 ounce package White Chocolate Chips
1 10-12 ounce package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
3/4 Cup Roughly Chopped Pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Stir or sift together the Flour, Cocoa,  Baking Soda and Salt and set aside.
Cream together the sugars and the butter very well until light and fluffy.
Add the Vanilla, then the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Slow add the Flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the pecans.

Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto ungreased  baking sheet leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread. These are big cookies.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest a minute before removing to cooling rack.
High Altitude: Add 2 Tablespoonfuls Water with the Vanilla
