Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.

Using a mixer, cream butter, both sugars and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add flour mixture in 1/2 cup increments, mixing at low speed until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chunks and nuts by hand.

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto non-stick baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 9 minutes. Let cook on baking sheet.
