5 Most Highly Rated Liquor Cookies to Make At Home

When it comes to cookies, there’s a lot of room for creativity. To move on from the usual ones, bake some cookies that have liquor in them. The alcohol can be used as a substitute for water, and the sugar cancels out the bitterness. You can purchase liquor cookies from the store or get online orange brandy cookies. But the best way to enjoy them is by baking at home. Here are 5 types of liquor cookies you can easily make at home.
