Directions:
1. Gather your ingredients, making sure your butter is softened, and your eggs are room temperature.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
5. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt.
6. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and walnuts. (I refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes, usually overnight before baking)
7. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are nicely browned, about 10 minutes.
9. Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Personal Notes:
This is an "AllRecipes" recipe that I came across a couple years ago and started to make for Christmas gifts. I knew I hit a winner when Curt Cohick requested more. The original recipe doesn't call for overnight chilling but I tend to make the dough the night before a big baking day and know that it turns out the way I want it to. These have a good combination of chew and crunch.
