Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups jumbo semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Blend in the sifted ingredients to form a soft dough. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 8 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
