Gourmet Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1 cup butter unsalted, softened
• 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
• 1 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons coriander ground, optional
• 1 teaspoon baking powder double-acting
• 2 1/2 cups flour unbleached
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 4 cups walnuts coarsely chopped
• 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

1. Cream butter in a large bowl. Beat in the sugar, a little at a time; beat until light. Stir in vanilla extract. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
2. Stir salt into flour and add to batter. Add nuts and chocolate chips.
3. Chill batter for an hour and drop by 1/4 C measures 3" apart on buttered baking sheets. Bake in the middle of a 375 degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes; cool on rack.
4. Notes:years ago. (I've NEVER used the coriander.) The original recipe also said to drop by 1/3 C measures and THEN chill the dough. I just didn't have room in the fridge ;-) And the cookies are still huge when I use the 1/4 Cup to spoon 'em out...
5. * Will use approximately 16 oz. of nuts and 18 oz. of chips.
