| 1‑1/2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 3/4 | cup sugar, divided |
| 1/3 | cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, softened and divided |
| 1 | egg |
| 1 | cup mini semisweet chocolate chips |
| 1 | cup very finely chopped walnuts |
| 2 | teaspoons ground cinnamon |
PREPARATION:
- Combine flour and salt in small bowl; set aside. Beat 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup butter in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well blended. Dough will be stiff. (If necessary, knead dough by hand until it holds together.)

- Combine chocolate chips, walnuts, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter; stir into chocolate chip mixture. (Chips will partially melt.) Spread mixture evenly over dough leaving 1/2-inch border on long edges.
- Using bottom sheet of waxed paper as guide and starting at long side, tightly roll up dough jelly-roll style, removing waxed paper as you roll. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Unwrap dough. Cut log into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
