French Cookies

Note: you’ll need a cookie iron (similar to a waffle iron) for this recipe.

Mix the flour and baking powder in a large bowl, set aside.

In a very large bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat on high until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated. Mix in vanilla and whiskey.

Slowly add flour mixture into the creamed mixture in small batches until fully incorporated and combined. Knead by hand if necessary. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.

Roll the dough into 2-inch balls (I used my large cookie scoop that I use for cupcakes) and cook in a preheated cookie iron for 60-90 seconds or until they reach the desired doneness.

Cassie’s Notes:
You might find this easier to mix in half-batches at a time and then combine by hand. Even with a strong mixer, a half-batch is usually all that will be able to mix at one time.

Makes about 10 dozen cookies.
