Would not make this again.
I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately the dough component is entirely boring. There's so much here that the whisky flavor is lost in the final product, and the dough doesn't bring any other flavor to it. The dough also suffers from being unbalanced in acidity, so the leavening is poor. The final product is rather like a bunch of dried fruit held together with paper mache'.
I may play with the dough to see if it can be given some flavor and the texture improved. Otherwise, no -I won't be making it again.

I had a lot of positive compliments about these cookies. People ask for more. The difficult part in doing this recipe is finding the golden raisins. I had to go to 4 stores to find them.

These are my favorite christmas cookies I make them with the whiskey, for some of my family and friends, and instead of whiskey I use juice, (o.j.; pineapple; apple; etc.} I also have used the candied fruits,instead if raisens,and cherries. Gotta Love It.

please do not be concerned about the alcohol content. The whiskey adds flavor, but the alcohol from it is baked out and will not withstand the high temperature of your oven.
