Bourbon Cookies with Chocolate Chips
A thin and crispy bourbon cookie with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2¼ c. unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 12 tablespoons (1½ sticks / 6 oz.) unsalted butter, at room temp.
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 large egg at room temp.
- 1 large egg yolk at room temp.
- 2 tablespoons good bourbon or whiskey William liked Jack Daniels
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 (12 oz.) bag Ghirardelli double chocolate bittersweet chips
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, both sugars and corn syrup on high. Beat in egg, egg yolk, bourbon and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and mix the flour mixture in gradually until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop onto prepared sheets in 2 tablespoon (1 oz.) cookie scoops, leaving 2-inches between each cookie.
- Bake until cookies are lightly browned on the edges (rotating pans halfway through if baking two at once), 18 to 20 minutes.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Once you've scooped the dough into balls, you can freeze the unbaked dough balls on a baking sheet. Transfer the frozen balls to a freezer-safe zippered bag and freeze for up to 1 month. Do not thaw before baking.
Add some toasted chopped pecans for another taste and texture. So good with bourbon.
