Directions
In a large mixing bowl whisk the soft butter until fluffy and pale, add the brown sugar, and then whisk again until well incorporated.

Add the rest of the flour, walnuts and chocolate pieces and mix well.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and take a rounded teaspoon of mixture and put on the tray. Make sure to space each spoonful at least 5 cm apart, place into a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 10 minutes. Remove when they start to turn slightly brown on the edges. Carefully lift each cookie on to a wire rack to cool.
