Ingredients

2 cups flour, all-purpose
1 cup butter (2 sticks) softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package chocolate (semi-sweet) semi-sweet chips, (6oz)
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
1/2 cup walnuts finely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar and vanilla.

Blend thoroughly.

Using a rounded teaspoon of dough for each cookie, shape with hands into 2-inch logs.

(To make shaping easier, you can coat each piece of dough very lightly with powdered sugar.)

Place 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 to 13 minutes.

They should be barely golden brown on the bottom.

Carefully remove cookies to a wire rack.

Hot cookies are very fragile.

Let cool thoroughly.

Heat chocolate chips and shortening together in the microwave on a low power level until just melted.

Stir to combine.

Dip ends of each cooled cookie into chocolate.

Place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.

Sprinkle walnuts over ends.

Chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Homemade Kahlua No. 2

This is a a good recipe and very close to my own, however after using white sugar for quite a while I tried it with light brown sugar and found that the flavor was almost identical to the REAL KAHLUA.
