-
Gradually blend in the flour, adding it a little at a time until fully incorporated.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving plenty of space between cookies for spreading.

Note
The dough will be quite stiff when adding the last couple of cups of flour; it is perfectly fine to use your hands to mix in the final flour and mix-ins if the mixer struggles.
These cookies spread significantly and become quite large, so ensure you leave ample room on the baking sheets.
For best results, use walnuts or pecans for the "nuts of your choice," though almonds or hazelnuts also work well.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
