Fudgies II

¾ cup butter

¾ cup white sugar

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup chopped walnuts

Cream the butter until light. Gradually beat in the white and brown sugar ( on low speed with a mixer if using one ) until creamy and light. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Melt the chocolate in a small, heavy saucepan over very low heat. Stir chocolate into the butter mixture.

Slowly stir in the salt and flour. Combine thoroughly. Stir in walnuts, if desired.

Shape into walnut-sized balls. Make an indentation with your thumb in each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes until just done. Cool on rack.
