Chocolate Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies *

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 pkg (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 pkg (12 oz) milk chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Heat oven to 375.  Mix both sugars, butter, vanilla, and egg in large bowl.  Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.  Stir in 1 cup walnuts and semisweet chocolate chips.  Drop dough by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.  Bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown with soft center.  Cool for 1 minute on baking sheet.  Transfer to wire rack and cool for 1 hour.

Melt milk chocolate chips in a wide shallow microwave safe bowl for one minute.  Stir.  Continue heating the chocolate at 10 second intervals, stirring between each one, until it is almost melted.  Remove from microwave and stir until chunks remain.

Dip cooled cookies into melted chocolate and then into chopped walnuts.  Continue cooling and allowing chocolate to harden on platter.
