Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, white & brown sugars, salt, vanilla and water. Beat them together with a large spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and baking soda. When well combined, add the flour, beating it in 1/4 cup at a time. Then gently but thoroughly fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
With a pastry brush coat a cookie sheet evenly with the tablespoon of softened butter. Drop the cookie batter onto the sheet a tablespoon at a time, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between the cookies. Gently pat down the tops of each cookie with a spatula, but don't flatten them entirely.
Bake in the middle of the oven for about 12 mins, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and lightly brown. Cook on a cake rack.
