Cooking Time16 min

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup golden brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (11 1/2-ounce) bags milk chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted macadamia nuts

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Using an electric mixer, beat first six ingredients together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well.
Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Slowly stir into butter mixture.
Mix in chocolate chips and nuts, mixing well.
Drop by 1/4 cups (I used a little less because I wanted a smaller cookie, and I rolled them into balls) onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake until cookies are golden brown, about 16 minutes. Don't overbake. Transfer to a cookie rack to cool.
