This makes about 8, so gather the following stuff: Let's see...turn to page 97.......

Preheat oven to 375 F, and lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.

In a food processor using steel blade, blend butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla until fluffy, stopping once to scrape the sides of the bowl, about 1 minute. Add flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined using 2 or 3 pulsed things; do not over-process. Transfer to large bowl and stir in chocolate and nuts....

Mound dough by ⅓ cupfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake until light brown around the edges, about 15 minutes.

Cool on the cookie sheets about 3 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely.
