Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly undercooked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
