Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons whiskey
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the vanilla extract and whiskey until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand, until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your whiskey-infused cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
