Preheat oven to 375°. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Cream shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla in a large bowl on medium speed until light and creamy. Add dry ingredients on low speed, mixing just until blended. Stir in white Hershey's chipets and nuts. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet, leaving room between cookies for spreading. Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes. Cookies will still appear soft and moist when baked but firm-up on cooling. Cool slightly, then remove to cooling rack.
