Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

1. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs one at time, beating after each. Add the vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.

2. In another bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until well-combined.

3. Add the walnuts and chocolate chunks. Spoon the dough into walnut-sized mounds onto ungreased cookie sheets.

4. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are light brown. Remove them to a wire rack to cool.
