In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
Beat in the egg, followed by the buttermilk, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition. (3 minutes)
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. (2 minutes)
Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are firm and the centers are set. (15 minutes)
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. (10 minutes)
