Anyone ever make cookies with liquer added? Just wondering if it was best to add liquer after (spray on?) or not? Im worried about the effect liquer will have on them.
Any recipe suggestions?
The only recipe I can think of off the top of my head is for rum-balls and of course you don't bake them. I've never come across any recipes using liquor in cookies and I'm not sure how they would bake.
Here's a bump for you, maybe somebody else knows.

I don't have an answer for you, but if you give a bit more detail of what you're thinking, I'm sure someone will be along with a solution.
What type of cookie do you want to make (sugar, oatmeal, chocolate, choc chip, etc), decorated or not, what type of liquor or liqueur?
I have used hazelnut liqueur in hazelnut kisses cookies. I added it directly to the batter.
I would not consider spraying liqueur on cookies, as most liqueurs are over 50% water, and would probably melt the top of the cookie.

I use liquor in some cookies...If it calls for vanilla or any kind of flavoring...I replace it with whatever liquor I want.... butterscotch snhapps, peach...etc....and if by chance you don't have vanilla you can use brandy as a substitute...
Hello,
I often make cookies with liquer.
the favorites of course are anise (a stronger version of anisette), rum and brandy. Always add the liquer to the dough/batter.
To have the flavor on top of the cookie, add a few drops of the liquer to the icing recipe, replacing your vanilla or almond.
Many recipes actually ask for extracts or oils instead of the actual liquer.
It gives you a strong flavor without added liquid.
There are several sites that have some great cookie recipes using liquers and/or extracts. check out:

These sites should get you started!
Also remember, if you do not like the liquer specified in a recipe, do not be afraid to experiment. almost all of them can be substituted with something else... for a nice lemon taste, try adding "Limoncello"; for orange use "Cointreau"; and you can't go wrong with a coffee flavoured liquer like "Zia Maria" or "Kahlua".
Enjoy
Ciao
