For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet. Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the dough enhances their nutty flavor. Don't overbake the cookies, as they will become dry. They should be slightly soft in the center. Chilling the dough is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too much and for achieving the desired crackled effect. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
