Notes
This recipe makes about 28 to 30 large cookies, depending on how generously you size them.
To measure flour, lightly spoon it into a dry measuring cup, then use a knife (or something else with a straight edge) to level off the top. Do not scoop the measuring cup into the flour ... you'll end up packing the flour, and the cookies will turn out dry.
When measuring the chocolate and nuts, I recommend being generous and using a heaping (rounded) ½ cup of each. You could also add more, or do all chocolate or all nuts. Just keep in mind that the dough is very thick, so don't go too crazy or it will be hard to mix.
If you have one, a stand mixer will work best for this recipe, because the dough is very thick. As you mix the cookies, make sure to stop occasionally to scrape down the mixer's bowl and paddle with a spatula.
