Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter unsalted
¼ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅔ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Cookie Dough

In a small bowl mix the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Set aside.
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter for about 5 minutes. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until butter clears and light brown specks form, about 10 minutes. Should smell faintly of caramel. Remove from heat and continue stirring until bubbling stops. Let cool for 10 minutes.
In a separate medium bowl, whip both sugars and butter with handheld mixer until combined. Add eggs and mix until combined.
Mix in flour by hand, a little at a time until all is incorporated. Add chocolate chips and walnuts.
Cover dough and let chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Baking

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
Bake for 17-18 minutes or until bottoms of cookies are slightly brown. Transfer to wire cooling rack and let cool before serving.
