First of all, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit(175 degrees C).
Mix the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until they form a smooth consistency.
First, beat the eggs individually, then add the vanilla and stir.
Next, dissolve the baking soda in hot water and add it to the mixture, along with the salt.
After that, mix in the flour, chocolate chips, and nuts.
Finally, use a spoon to drop large portions of the mixture onto ungreased pans.
Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven or until the edges are nicely browned.
