Chocolate Chip cookies
People ask all the time, “Are bitters only for cocktails?” The answer is no. They have many uses.
But replacing the vanilla in a chocolate chip cookie with Barrel Aged Aromatic Bitters has got to be one of my favorites!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
with Barrel Aged Aromatic Bitters
1 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
1 c golden brown sugar
2 eggs
1 T Barrel Aged Aromatic Bitters
2 c flour
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 c oatmeal
12 oz chocolate chips (+ extra because life’s too short)
Preheat the oven to 375.
Cream together butter and both sugars. Add eggs, one at a time. Add bitters and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add half of the flour mix to the butter mix and slowly combine. Next add 1 cup of the oatmeal and slowly combine. Repeat with the rest of the flour mix and remaining oatmeal. Mix in chocolate chips by hand.
Form 2-3 T of dough into balls and place them evenly spaced on a cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes. Let them sit for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
