Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.

Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
