Set batter aside to rest the full 30 minutes.
The Enjoy Life brand of chocolate chunks was tested in this recipe.
If you'd like to make a batch with nuts throughout (rather than half with nuts, half without, as I did here) then just double the amount of nuts and stir them in with the chocolate chunks.
These cookies will stay nice and soft for up to a week, either covered under a cake dome or in a gallon size plastic bag.
