For an extra nutty flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before chopping. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or macadamia nuts, for the walnuts. For a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips or chunks instead of semisweet chocolate chips. Store the cooled cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
