- Preheat oven to 325*F.
- Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or leave the sheets ungreased.
- Using electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter, sugar and vanilla in medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stop the mixer once or twice to scrape down bowl with rubber spatula.
- Add flour and salt and blend on medium speed about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and add the nuts with several more turns of the mixer.
- Measure out slightly rounded tbls. of dough and shape them into little logs 2 1/2" long. Place the logs 1 1/2" apart on prpared cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with your palm so they are about 1 1/2" wide.
- Bake cookies until lightly golden, about 30-35 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets.
- When cookies are cool, melt the chocolate in top of double boiler placed over simmering water.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a small deep bowl and dip half of each cookie into the chocolate, using the rim of the bowl to scrape any excess chocolate off the bottom of the cookie.
- As they are dipped, place the cookies on a large sheet of waxed paper and allow to set until the chocolate hardens, several hours. If it is a humid day, refrigerate them in order to speed the procees. Enjoy!

[email protected]I had a hard time getting the chocolate coating to stick to the logs. I think I needed to let them cool a bit longer before dipping them.

[email protected]These logs are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using dark chocolate next time.
