Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon shortening
• ½ cup sifted confectioners' sugar
• 2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• ¾ cup finely chopped walnuts

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

Step 2

Cream together butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Mix in the flour, and then one cup of the chocolate chips. Shape dough into 2x1/2 inch logs. Place logs 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.

Step 3

Bake for 10 to 13 minutes in preheated oven, or until firm. Let cookies cool completely before removing from pan (shortbread is brittle).

Step 4

Melt the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and shortening over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth. Dip one end of each cookie into the chocolate, then into the nuts. Place onto waxed paper until set.
