Small Batch Gin Laced Butter Cookies
These Small Batch Gin Laced Butter Cookies are perfect to make during these times of recipe substitutions. Instead of flavoring the cookies with citrus zest, use Gin instead. The alcohol burns out during baking and you are left with the botanical flavors of the Gin.
