Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
Step 2: Grease a baking sheet/s (or line the pan with parchment paper).
Step 3: In a bowl mix together the flour with the next 3 dry ingredients.
Step 4: In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed beat the melted butter with maple extract and both sugars until blended.
Step 5: Add in the whole egg and yolk; continue beating until the mixture resembles a thick caramel texture (about 3-4 minutes, the color of the mixture should lighten up slightly).
Step 6: Add in the flour mixture and beat until just blended.
Step 7: Mix in chocolate chips and nuts.
Step 8: Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.
Step 9: Drop by tablespoons onto a greased baking/cookie sheet (spacing about 2-inches apart).
Step 10: Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned (these firm up more when left on the pan).
Step 11: Cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks.
