Stir in nuts and chocolate pieces. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls 2-1/2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 17 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned and tops look dry.

Cool on sheet on wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove to rack to cool completely.

Makes
