Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream butter, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, Frangelico, and Tia Maria until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, beating well after each addition.

- Stir in chocolate chips, walnut halves, macadamia nuts, and pecan halves.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Place the dough in a storage container and refrigerate overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra chewy texture, try substituting half of the all-purpose flour with bread flour. You can also use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for a richer flavor. If you prefer a nut-free cookie, simply omit the walnuts, macadamia nuts, and pecans. Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
Serving Suggestions
These chocolate chip cookies are delightful on their own but can also be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a slice of Wilsie Fortner's Brown Sugar Pie. A glass of cold milk makes the perfect beverage pairing to enhance the cookie experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them fresh longer, consider freezing the cookies. Just make sure to place parchment paper between layers if stacking. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave for a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of nuts in this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute or mix in your favorite nuts like almonds or hazelnuts. Just ensure they are chopped to a similar size as the other nuts to maintain an even texture in the cookies.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky to handle, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm up the dough, making it easier to scoop and shape into cookies. Additionally, you can dust your hands with a little flour to help manage the stickiness.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Cookies are typically done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven. For best results, let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
