Instructions
1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the Golden Crisco Shortening and packed demerara sugar using an electric mixer at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating just until blended — avoid over-mixing as this can affect the texture of the cookies.

Using a spoon, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coarsely chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
