Preheat the oven to 180ºC . Line two baking sheets with foil and coat with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and flour until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop the batter by the teaspoon at least 8 cm apart on the foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Slide foil off pan onto a countertop to cool. Peel foil away from the cookies when cooled. They will be soft when hot but they become crispy as they cool. BAKERS' DOZEN BEATRICE OJAKANGAS SHOW #BD1A59 ----
