Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cold butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer until combined. Add in the cold egg and mix gently.
Gradually add the flour until a soft dough forms, then fold in the chopped chocolate and walnuts if using.
