Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for that classic, comforting flavor. Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, try browning the butter before mixing. Just let it cool slightly before creaming with the sugars. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky. Tip: Overmixing can make your cookies tough, so mix until the flour is just incorporated.

Add the Mix-Ins

Fold in the Chocolate Chips and Nuts

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
