Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).

Mix in your eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking soda.

Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Carefully stir in coarsely chopped walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges but still soft in the center.

Let them cool slightly before transferring them onto wire racks.
