I previously saw an Alton Brown cookie episode in which he said that brown sugar will give you soft cookies (like those found in Subway) while white sugar will give you crispy cookies.

I used white sugar and cornflakes to give the extra crunch in my crispy raisin cookie recipe!

I can definitely add nuts as per your suggestion. I bet it'll taste even better!
