Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2
Stir flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 3
Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat eggs and vanilla into butter mixture until smooth.

Step 4
Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined.

Step 5
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Spread cookie dough into the prepared pan.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the cake springs back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool before cutting into 2-inch squares.
