How to make the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie Cookies

These are very easy to make. You just need one bowl for the dough and another for the filling. The cookie themselves are thumbprint cookies, so you use your thumb to press a dent in the center of each cookie, then you spoon the filling in and bake them.

Ingredients

White and Brown Sugar: Using white and brown sugars in the same recipe gives the cookies the best flavor and texture.

Butter: You should use unsalted butter, but if all you have is salted butter these will still come out great

Bourbon: Choose whatever bourbon you like the flavor of, I tend to use cheaper bourbon when I am putting it in baked goods.

Baking Powder: Usually I only use baking soda in cookies, but the baking powder in these makes them nice and puffy.

Cocoa Powder: Gives these cookies their chocolate flavor

Pecans: Chop these up pretty small

Tips for Bourbon Pecan Pie Cookies

• If you want to omit the bourbon and make these non-alcoholic then use an additional 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract instead of the bourbon
• If you don't have heavy cream for the filling you can add milk or non-dairy milk instead and only use 2 tablespoons of it.
• Keep these covered or in an airtight container and they will be good for up to 5 days. You can also freeze these for up to a month.
