• 
  Step 1
  In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.

  In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, soda, and salt.

  Sift and add to the creamed mixture.
• 
  Step 5
  Stir until blended.
•

  Stir in the chips and nuts.
•

  Make balls of dough using a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop. Use your hands to roll each into ball shape and place all on one cookie sheet.
• 
  Step 8
  Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
• 
  Step 9
  (At this point chilled cookies can be placed in plastic freezer bag and freeze. Thaw 20 minutes before baking.)
• 
  Step 10
  Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Placed chilled dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
• 
  Step 11
  Bake 15-18 minutes or until browned and a bit crispy around the edges.

  Sometimes I add crushed up hard peppermint candies instead of adding the oil. Just crush and measure with the nuts.
