Add flour mixture and blend well, then stir in chocolate and nuts. Drop dough in 1/4 cup mounds, spaced 2" apart, onto prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies until edges are rich golden color and top is lightly golden, risen and slightly tender, about 14-18 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheets.
