Cure for the blues

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sour cream
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
11.5 oz chocolate chunks (Ghirardelli. ... yum)
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375oF. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl beat butter and sugars on low speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream. Beat on medium-high for 2 mins. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add chocolate chinks and walnuts. Mix just until combined. Place 6 balls of dough 3 inches apart on each of the prepared baking sheets. Place baking sheets on two center racks of oven. Bake 14-16 mins switching the cookie sheets, top and bottom, halfway through. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 1 min before lifting them off with spatula.
Smile, because at this moment you are the 'best mother in the world'. Eat the cookies and promise yourself to work extra hard on the treadmill tomorrow.
