Notes
Substitutions:
- You can use your favorite individual fruits for this recipe rather than a pre-mixed! I highly recommend using some citrus peel to give this cookie a bright twist.
- You could use whiskey, rum, or brandy instead of bourbon!
- The cookie dough is very wet so, keep this in mind when you're working with it!
- These cookies keep really well.
- Make sure to set out the butter a few hours before you start to bake! This will allow the butter to come to room temperature and be easier to mix.
- If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a normal spoon. It'll just be harder to get all the cookies the same size!
