Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts gently with a spatula.

Drop rounded balls of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
