Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Stir them together with a whisk.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt together until creamy and smooth.

Mix in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing at low speed until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts using a spatula.

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

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

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a glass of milk.
