Directions: 

Don't make these cookies on a rainy day. They won't rise correctly.

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each. Beat in extracts and baking soda.

Add in flour, slowly. After flour is well incorporated, add the white chips and pecans.

Chill dough.

Heat oven to 350*F.

Drop by rounded Tablespoons on your parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

When completely cool, frost with royal icing and top them off with a pecan half.
