Here in Tennessee, we would put whiskey in our scrambled eggs if socially acceptable. Luckily, whiskey in cookies is both acceptable and tasty! Get a glass of milk (or whiskey) to have with cookies.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon Tennessee whiskey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl.

  3. Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in first egg until thoroughly blended; beat in second egg. Add whiskey and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.

  4. Mix flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until just incorporated; fold in chocolate chips. Form dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet, 1 to 2 inches apart.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 9 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Cook's Notes:

Feel free to add more flour if dough is a bit runny (the whiskey will do that sometimes)!

Wetting your hands with cold water will help form dough balls and make for nicely-shaped cookies.
