Beat the butter, sugars, in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy the add the eggs and vanilla, continue to mix for two minutes at medium-high speed. Mix in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in the chocolates and nuts. Form the dough into golf ball size and place on an un-greased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes.
