Spike the Cookies: Baking with Bourbon Part 2
Once a month when I attend my wine club meetings, the hubs gathers with his Bourbon Club. This month was Brady’s turn to “host” at my parents house (where most members live), so I decided to do some cooking with bourbon.
Last time Brady hosted, I made Maker’s Mark cupcakes. This time, I tried a different spin with another Maker’s Mark recipe for Bacon Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookies.
The recipe, found here, was fairly easy! The “secret” ingredient was a bit tricky. Basically you cook the bacon, save the grease and then chill it until it turns into a gel-like substance. I never said that these were healthy ; )
I can't say that the cookies had rave reviews, but most that tried them said that they were good!
Since
the new year, I’ve been in total craft mode. I’ve made a number of trips to the
craft store and have been in my nook working on a few projects. One of which I wanted
to share today!
The
Instagram popular feed has become one of my favorite things to scroll when I’ve
gone through my regular list of iPhone checks – email, Daily Mail, Instagram. One
day I spotted these
amazing fruit-themed koozies and knew I had to recreate them!
This
craft is CHEAP. The koozies are $1 and the additional foam was no more than $3.
You could totally make these as a favor for a summer or spring party!
Ta da! From left to right you have an orange, watermelon, pineapple, strawberry and grape!
I
should have used a gold Sharpie on the pineapple one. Instead I was being
aggressive and used paint and it just didn’t turn out right. Seriously. Ignore the Pineapple.
