Whiskey Sugar Cookies Recipes | #IKnowYouCareWhatWereEating

Good morning friends! Today I am sharing the tasty recipe for the cookies that my mom used to bake with us every year.  They’re delicious and serve as the perfect treat to take to any holiday party!  Oh, and did I mention that making the dough takes little to no time at all? If its simple, it’s something I can handle!   So without further ado – here’s your recipe:

Bake at 400° for 5-7 minutes

Keep Dough Chilled before Rolling the dough

1 Stick of Margarine
2 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
2 tbsp. of whiskey
1 can of your favorite icing

 


 

A few tips and tricks

  • A standard kitchen aid mixer will only hold a double batch of these cookies… try to triple it at your own risk!
  • It’s best to bake the dough and let it set overnight! The colder the dough is, the easier it is to roll!
  • I like to make sure that as I’m rolling out the dough that it creates a pretty thick layer.  This makes the cookie have a chewier and softer bite to them, which is my preference! If you want them to be a little crunchier, roll your dough out thinner!
  • My favorite spot to shop for cookie cutters is Sur La Table – they have such a large variety that makes it fun to bake these for almost any occasion!  I’ve made a fun assortment of summertime cookies, too!
  • I’m a little lazy when it comes to making the icing for this, so really any of your favorites will do!  You could also just do egg whites and sprinkles! Whatever your preference is :)

Yum! I hope y’all enjoy!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
