It works wonders for other sweet treats too.

My kiddo and his friends can eat two dozen in a single sitting.

I tried it once and never looked back.

The chocolate tasted more chocolatey, the brown sugar tasted more caramel-y, and the vanilla was more vanilla-y.

The cookies had an overall warmth, an oomph, to them that they didnt have before.

No matter the booze you choose, your cookies will take on an extra dimension.

Ive even added bourbon tooatmeal cookiesand cinnamon whiskey tosnickerdoodles.

It really does make a noticeable (and delicious) difference.

To incorporate booze into your cookie batter, add the spirit at the same time as the vanilla extract.

A little goes a long way.

However you measure it, though, your cookies will have a distinct flavor upgrade.
