Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of white sugar, and 1 cup of packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3
Add in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before the next addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well mixed.
4
In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 2 teaspoons of hot water. Once dissolved, add it to the butter mixture, along with ½ teaspoon of salt, and mix thoroughly.
5
Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the batter, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
