Ingredients

all-purpose flour 2½ cups

salt ½ tsp

baking soda ½ tsp

unsalted butter, melted ¾ cup (1½ sticks)

light brown sugar, packed 1 cup

granulated sugar ½ cup

large eggs 2

vanilla extract 2 tsp

bittersweet chocolate, cut into ¼-inch chunks 10 oz

walnuts, chopped ⅔ cup

Instructions

Preheat and prepare

Preheat the oven to 350°F (about 175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix the dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda until evenly combined. Set aside.

Mix the wet ingredients

In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugars. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Using a wooden spoon, fold in the dry ingredients until just combined with no streaks of flour. Stir in the chocolate and walnuts. (The dough can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.)

Bake

Using a measuring cup or ice cream scoop, drop ¼-cup portions of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake two sheets at a time for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are barely golden. Rotate the sheets halfway through for even browning. The cookie centers should be soft and slightly puffed. Cool completely on the baking sheets or on a wire rack.
