cups all-purpose flour

cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
1
egg
1
cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1
cup very finely chopped walnuts
2

1.
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.

4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
Bake 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
