For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of unsweetened. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Don't skip the chilling step! It's essential for achieving the perfect crackled surface and preventing the cookies from spreading too much. If you don't have vegetable shortening, you can substitute with butter, but the texture of the cookies might be slightly different. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
