Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 3: Add 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar to the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer or wooden spoon, beat the mixture until creamy and well combined.
Step 4: Beat in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
Step 5: Fold in 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Step 6: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7: Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are golden but centers remain soft. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
