Jack Daniel’s Chocolate Chip Cookies #100sharesproject 47/100

This recipe was born on a day when there was no vanilla in the pantry and I was out of time to go to the store.  The solution?  Use Jack Daniel’s instead.

After a bit of trial and error, I landed on adding 2 Tablespoons of Jack Daniel’s to my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.

2 1/4 cups of unsifted flour

1tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanila extract

2 Tbsp Jack Daniel’s Whiskey

2 eggs

1 10oz package of chocolate chips ( I use either Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips or Nestle’s Semi Sweet Chips)

extra 1/4 cup flour to adjust consistency if necessary

Preheat oven to 350 F.  In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.  Set aside.  Beat butter w sugar and brown sugar.  Add vanilla and eggs.  Blend  dry ingredients into butter mixture. Stir in chips. If necessary, add extra flour a little at a time until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.  Drop by tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 9-11 min.
