Chocolate Pecan Cookies

WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE: This recipe was often made by Phyllis Sandock, my mother-in-law, well over 60 years ago. She did not particularly enjoy cooking even thought she had a number of excellent recipes. This was one. I treasure this very uncommon cookie recipe because it was hers and because it is so very good.
