Classic chocolate chip cookies, crisp at the edges and soft in the middle.

Soften the butter, and bring the eggs to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Beat together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy:

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

Beat in, one at a time:

2 large eggs

Then stir in:

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dissolve in hot water:

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons hot water

Add to the batter along with the salt, and mix until combined:

½ teaspoon salt

Stir in until a soft dough forms:

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts

Drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Cool on the baking sheets briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container.
