Drop Cookies

These cookies were a last minute experiment to see what would happen if I put Tito’s Vodka in a batch of white chip cookies. As far as chemistry goes, I’m not sure the vodka really did anything, but it’s always fun to have a secret ingredient, and the cookies were definitely good. The dough [...]
