Cream together the butter, sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Then add the baking soda and salt. Slowly add approx a 1/2 cup of flour at a time.

Finally stir in the chips and nuts.

Place mixture in the fridge for a half an hour. Meanwhile heat the oven to 375. (this step can be skipped and the oven can be pre-heated. however I've always had best results when the batter is cool).

You can either drop, or roll cookies into a 1 inch ball and place them on a ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
