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

Thanks Jeanne G (Jeanne)
