1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. The butter will foam and bubble. This means that the water is evaporating from the butter. The butter will begin to brown. Once well-browned, remove the butter from the heat and pour into a small bowl. All the butter to cool for 10 minutes or so.
2
In a mixing bowl, stir together the sugars and butter. Add the vanilla and eggs. Add the salt and baking soda. Stir to combine. Add the flours and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts and stir. Place bowl in the fridge for 15 or so minutes.
3
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or spray with cooking spray.
4
Scoop with a small cookie scoop onto the prepared sheet pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool (if you can!) and eat. (If you are like me, you'll eat about 6. Whoops.)

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
