Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Step 2
In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture all at once and blend until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts. Chill the dough for at least an hour.
- Step 3
Roll ¼ -cup lumps of dough into balls, then place on the baking sheet and flatten to ½ -inch-thick disks spaced 2 inches apart. Chill the dough between batches. Bake until the edges turn golden, 14 to 17 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a baking rack.

Definitely needs to chill 24 hrs. The difference in cookies made after 24 hrs and those after cookies had only chilled 5 hrs was dramatic in terms of the taste. Seemed that the ingredients had blended more - less salty.
Nice cookie, chewy from all the sugar.
Very, very good cookies.
Re directions: Not necessary to roll dough into balls. After chilling dough 1-2 hours, I plopped level 1/4 C scoops directly onto parchment-covered sheet. I then covered mounds w/ plastic wrap to avoid sticking & used bottom of a glass to press to 1/2" thickness. I returned to fridge & chilled overnight, then removed plastic wrap & baked in AM. Save time & skip the balls.

Yes chill 24 hours. This dough with a package of chocolate gchips is not enough. 2T balls cook in 10-11 minutes
Unfortunately, my batch turned out cakey like many of the other commenters mentioned.
Sure call this an amateur mistake by me for not reading all steps before starting, BUT WHY WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE TO PREHEAT THE OVEN IF YOU NEED TO CHILL THE DOUGH FOR AN HR. And then needing to chill the dough? The thought process was me want cookie. me make cookie. me eat cookie. No where was there a me need chill cookie. BLARGH. Please update the steps of this recipe and mention the dough chillin’ at the top.
