Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Adjust oven racks to upper & lower-middle positions. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk dry ingredients together; set aside.
3. With electric mixer, or by hand, mix butter & sugars until thoroughly combined. Beat in egg, yolk and vanilla until combined.
4. Add dry ingredients slowly and beat at low speed just until combined. Stir in chips and nuts.
5. Drop cookies by 1 tablespoons (or mini ice cream scoop) onto baking sheets.
6. Bake, reversing position of cookie sheets halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft & puffy, 12-15 minutes depending on size. Cool cookies on sheets until able to lift without breaking and place on wire rack to cool.
