For Best Results: All ingredients should be a room temp. Including Eggs. Do not exceed medium speed when creaming butter or adding the eggs. It will be mixed enough in about 2-3 mins. Scrape bowl 2-3 times. Add flour mixture on slow speed and just till incorporated. Fold in nuts and chocolate by hand. Refrigerate batter about ten mins. Use an air-bake sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a small ice cream scoop to place cookies 2 inches apart. Bake @ 350 until edges start to brown.
