Bourbon Brown Sugar Cookies

For these cookies I used a Bourbon Vanilla Extract I got at Trader Joes. I also have made homemade Bourbon Vanilla Extract and have instructions for them posted on this blog click here for Homemade Vanilla Extract. If you don't have the time to make the homemade vanilla, you can also replace the bourbon vanilla with half regular vanilla extract and half real bourbon. The bourbon vanilla is just for flavor and a little bit of moisture, so feel free to replace it with whatever option is easiest for you. I do have to say though the bourbon tastes wonderful.
Makes about 20 cookies 3-4 inches wide. Recipe can also be doubled and will make about 40 cookies.
Ingredients:
-1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter
-1 cup packed brown sugar
-1 egg
-1 tbsp Bourbon Vanilla extract or 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tbsp bourbon of your choice
- 1 cup all purpose flour
-1 1/2 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 cup finely diced pecans or walnuts (optional)
Cream together butter and brown sugar. This is a picture of the recipe doubled, 2 cups of brown sugar shown here.
The Bourbon Vanilla I use. It's pretty good! If you can't find it see my other options.

Bourbon Brown Sugar Cookies
Directions:
Blend butter and sugar together until creamy. Add bourbon vanilla, mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating together well. You may need to scrape the sides down every once in a while. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture slowly on low speed a 1/2 cup at a time. Stir in nuts, if desired. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and drop cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet about the size of a heaping tablespoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes (I under bake cookies because we like them soft) Pull out of oven and allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to cooking rack. They will be very soft but will firm up a little as they cool. Enjoy!!
