French Cookies

Directions

1. 1
   Note: you'll need a cookie iron (similar to a waffle iron) for this recipe.
2. 2
   Mix the flour and baking powder in a large bowl, set aside.
3. 3
   In a very large bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat on high until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated. Mix in vanilla and whiskey.
4. 4
   Slowly add flour mixture into the creamed mixture in small batches until fully incorporated and combined. Knead by hand if necessary. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
5. 5
   Roll the dough into 2-inch balls (I used my large cookie scoop that I use for cupcakes) and cook in a preheated cookie iron for 60-90 seconds or until they reach the desired doneness.

   Cassie's Notes:
7. 7
   You might find this easier to mix in half-batches at a time and then combine by hand. Even with a strong mixer, a half-batch is usually all that will be able to mix at one time.

   Makes about 10 dozen cookies.
