Dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 2 tablespoons of hot water and stir until dissolved.

Add the dissolved baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until combined.

Gradually add all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips, walnuts, and pecans until evenly distributed.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
