Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Line 2 or 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together the margarine, brown sugar, sugar, water, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chips and pecans after the flour mixture has been thoroughly combined. Scoop 1 rounded tbsp of dough at a time onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between scoops. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan before serving.
