Kentucky Bourbon Cookies
Description
The cookies start with a classic vanilla cake mix base, combined with whisked eggs and melted unsalted butter to form a dough. Scooping small portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and baking them at 350°F for 8 to 9 minutes yields lightly baked cookies with a moist, tender texture.
While the cookies cool, the bourbon glaze is prepared by combining butter, sugar, and Kentucky bourbon whiskey in a small pot and heating over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Spoonfuls of the glaze are applied to each cooled cookie, where it sets into a shiny, sweet coating infused with bourbon flavor. This glaze adds a warm, slightly boozy note balanced by sweetness that complements the buttery base.
The cookies can be served as a dessert or snack. The glaze hardens as it cools, giving a subtle crunch over the soft cookie. They can be stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
