Remove butter from the fridge 1 hour before starting to ensure it's at room temperature and spreadable.

In a bowl, combine room temperature butter, brown sugar, and white sugar, mixing until just combined (not creamy or fluffy).

Add 1 egg to the mixture and mix until smooth and emulsified.

In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, Belgian chocolate chips, baking soda, and walnuts (if using).

Mix the dry ingredients until combined, ensuring the chocolate chips and walnuts are coated with flour.

Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until no flour is visible.

If not baking immediately, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one week.

When ready to bake, use a 1.5-ounce ice cream scooper to scoop dough onto a baking pan lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper, ensuring enough spacing between each scoop.
