Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temp
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

1. In a bowl, beat butter and both sugars until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.

2. Shape 1/4 cupfuls of dough into balls. Flatten each ball to 3/4-inch thickness, smoothing edges as necessary. Place in an airtight container, separating the layers with waxed paper or parchment; refrigerate, covered, overnight.

3. To bake, place dough portions 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets; let stand at room temp for 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 400.

4. Bake until edges are golden brown (centers will be light), 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
