👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3Cut in 1/2 cup cold cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

12Fold in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts if using.
13Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust and spread it evenly.
14Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
