 This makes about 8, so gather the following stuff:

 Let's see...turn to page 97.......

 Preheat oven to 375 F, and lightly grease 2 cookie
 sheets.

 In a food processor using steel blade, blend butter,
 sugars, egg, and vanilla until fluffy, stopping once
 to scrape the sides of the bowl, about 1 minute.  Add
 flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just
 combined using 2 or 3 pulsed things; do not
 over-process.  Transfer to large bowl and stir in
 chocolate and nuts....

 Mound dough by 1/3 cupfuls onto prepared cookie
 sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.  Bake until
 light brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Cool
 on the cookie sheets about 3 minutes.  Transfer to
 rack and cool completely.
