Ingredients

1¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons butter, softened
¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or a medium to large mixing bowl and an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
Add the egg and mix until no yellow streaks are visible.
Lower the mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture, mixing only until the flour is well incorporated.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate chips and the nuts making sure the nuts and chocolate chips are evenly spread through the dough.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Before removing the cookie dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the fridge and scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons.
Roll the cookie dough into balls before placing the dough 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for at least 1 to 2 minutes before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack.

Notes

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature so that your batter comes out with the right consistency.
You can use your hands to roll the dough into balls, but a cookie dough scoop will keep your hands clean and help to form the balls into a uniform size.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cookies as the suggested baking time approaches.
