Directions:

  1. In a saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool for 15 minutes. Stir in egg.
  2. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; add to butter mixture. Fold in walnuts. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  4. For topping, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening over low heat; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. With a small spatula, spread a thin layer of chocolate mixture around edges of cookies; sprinkle with nonpareils. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: about 4 dozen.
