Mix in 2 large eggs, one at a time, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.

Gently stir in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips and, if desired, 1 cup of walnuts.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
