For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
If you don't have shortening, you can substitute it with softened butter, but the texture of the cookies may be slightly different.
Chilling the dough is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. Don't skip this step!
For extra chewy cookies, underbake them slightly.
