Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, Splenda Granulated Sweetener, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
