About



Notes:
I buy the Lindt tablets and cut them up in little pieces with a knife and keep them in a tupperware. Any other chocolate chip can be used.
Brown sugar from Madagascar is an excellent sugar. You can use any other pure cane sugar.
If you omit the nuts the cookies turn out even softer. But if you still want to use them, keep in mind that you could substitute them for pine nuts, chopped macadamias or any other nut instead.
You can also substitute the orange liquor for Kahlua, vanilla, etc
