Notes

Don't overmix the cookie dough, or you may end up with dense cookies. Only stir in the nuts and chocolate chips until they're incorporated.

Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon measure for evenly sized cookies.

To make perfect circle cookies: When they come out of the oven, quickly use a round object like a cookie cutter or cup to reshape the warm cookies into perfect circles

To Freeze: Scoop the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for a couple of hours or until frozen. Place in a freezer bag until ready to use.
