Next, add in eggs one at a time beating until incorporated. Then add in pure vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Turn down your mixer to low and add in flour mixture in three intervals beating after each addition until well combined. Lastly, add in 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and WalnutHalves and Pieces.
Place dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Two hours is even better.

Do not skip the chilling of the dough. It is crucial for making sure that your dough doesn't spread too much creating a thin cookie that is nothing like the chewy cookie you want here.
