Why I Love This Recipe

Our Grandmother's secret to most of her recipes was adding bourbon to it. We all took turns helping her make these cookies. Memories are great! The cookies even better.


Ingredients You'll Need

1 cup of butter (2 sticks), sit out so it will be at room temperature
1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs, sit out so it will be at room temperature
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 cups of flour
3/4 cup of your favorite jam
Thimble full of Kentucky Bourbon
Confectioners Sugar
Parchment paper


Directions

1 Cream the butter and sugar on high speed for about 3 minutes.


2 Separate the eggs. Add the yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture.


3 Add the flour and salt. Ad the bourbon. Mix until just combined. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 350F.


4 Take a tablespoons full of dough. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter in your hands. Place the balls on parchment lined cookie sheets.


5 Press down with your thumb to make a small well in the center of the cookie. Do not press too hard or the cookie will fall apart. Fill with 1/2 teaspoon of jam.


6 Bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly firm. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet to firm up before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.


7. When they are almost all cooled take a sifter and add powdered sugar to it. Sprinkle through the sifter onto the cookies.
