Clipper
Chippers
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon Frangelico liqueur
1 tablespoon Tia Maria liqueur
2 eggs
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup walnut halves (optional)
½ cup pecan halves (optional)
½ cup macadamia nuts (optional)
Recipe from the
Clipper Cruise line, as
served for afternoon snack:
|
1. With an electric mixer, cream
the butter, sugar, vanilla, Frangelico and Tia Maria until
light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually
stir the flour into the butter mixture using a large
kitchen spoon. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and
nuts. Mix well.
3. Place in a storage container and refrigerate overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
5. Scoop one teaspoon of cookie dough for each cookie onto
an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for
approximately 10-13 minutes until golden brown. Cool
slightly and serve while still warm.
Helpful Hint:
The dough may be refrigerated up to several days in
advance. It also freezes well for future use.
Jeanne's notes:
Yes, it really is worth buying those expensive liqueurs
for just a tablespoon each. You will be making these
again! If not, you'll think of something else to do with
them.
These are good any time, but they are extraordinary while
they are still warm. When I make a batch I portion all the
dough with a small food scoop, bake a few and freeze the
rest. Then every day I bake just the number we "need" for
our snack.
I use all three nuts.
I usually use 2 cups milk chocolate chips and 2 cups of
semi sweet chips
