Add 1/4 cup flour to cookie dough mixture. Bake as directed above.

I have made up a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookie mix and refrigerated it instead of buying the pre-made brand. I can make up a batch and keep refrigerated for up to three weeks. I usually add about 1/2 - 1 cup of walnut pieces chopped fine. As far as the coconut, I buy in large quantities and I use just a scant under 3 cups. I dont use the liqueur. Not for my own preferences.
