5 Boozy Sugar Cookies To Eat Your Alcohol
There’s something so luxurious about baking your own sugar cookies. The process of combining all your ingredients with love, filling your home with the smells of warm sugar and vanilla, and of course that first bite of fresh cooie, still warm from the oven. Fresh cookies never go out of style, but you can definitely update their flavours as you go, and for a more adult treat, boozy sugar cookies are the ultimate decadence.
What Are Sugar Cookies?
Sugar cookies are similar to 'twice-baked' biscuits. They consist of sugar, flour, butter, eggs, and a selected raising agent, such as baking powder or soda.
Typically infused with vanilla, sugar cookies are rolled out and shaped using a cutter. With a higher ratio of flour to butter, they possess a robust and crisp texture, making them ideal for decorative embellishments.
