Irish Whiskey Christmas cookies

Mom use to make these a lot. The cinnamon would make the house smell great! We couldn’t help but sneak a few. I think my pore mother started making more in her batches due to the low amount that always seemed to make their way to the cookie jar. These cookies are normally referred to as SNICKERDOODLES but as little kids normally do we renamed them and our parents found it cute so it stuck. -Brannon

This recipe is based off of Alton Brown’s Sugar Cookies. I was looking for a good sugar cookie recipe when I came across the idea of adding Earl Grey tea into them. Since Brannon and I LOVE Earl Grey, I decided to give them a try. The cookies were good, but needed something to give them that punch – enter the lemon icing. I took them to a Christmas party, and was surprised that the kids LOVED them…to the point where they were demanding their parents get the recipe. So ever since then, when I have to make cookies, these are one of the top 2 I make (Chocolate Chip ones of course being #1). -Janet
