How to Make The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon Frangelico, and 1 tablespoon Tia Maria.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite!).
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
