Recipe: Whiskey Ginger Cookie

June 15, 2011 by Carrie Sellman

For Father’s Day this year, why not skip the tie and go for something Dad can really enjoy.  All dads love a good cookie and most enjoy a classic cocktail (especially after a long day!).  Batch from Scratch has the perfect solution to satisfy Dad’s sweet tooth while keeping him in the spirit of the holiday with their Whiskey Iced Ginger Cookies.  Esther Kang, the creator of this awesome cookie concoction, has shared her recipe with us to ensure every dad has a Happy Father’s Day.  Crispy and chewy, Dad will love this ginger cookie filled with whiskey infused cherries and drizzled with a shot of whiskey icing!

    I made these cookies tonight and they didn’t stick together at all. They were just a dry mess. Is the “1/2 stick” of butter actually a 1/2 CUP of butter? Has anyone else had success with this recipe?

    I compared this to a similar recipe and I believe that 1 egg is missing from the recipe.

    The recipe doesn’t say how long to bake these, but the other recipe that Lanikazi posted says to bake for 12 minutes and that worked well for me.

    For the icing, how much confectioner’s sugar? I assumed that the 1/2 stick of butter meant 4 T. Consistency was fine. I haven’t finished baking the dough (did one batch and left the rest in the fridge) but I think this recipe will only be able to make a dozen and a half small cookies. First batch was a dozen and there’s really not a lot left for a second dozen.
