Time 1h15m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cup shortening
1 egg yolk plus 1 egg, whisked
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange liqueur
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/3 teaspoon salt
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup light brown sugar
Powdered sugar, optional
Eggnog, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare 3 cookie sheets with silicone mats or nonstick sprayed parchment paper.
  • In a mixer with a whisk attachment, mix shortening and egg yolk for 3 to 4 minutes or until airy. Then add sugar, orange liquor, bourbon and salt, mixing again for 2 to 3 minutes until well mixed. Remove from mixer. Then in a bowl, combine flour and baking soda, whisking until well mixed. Once flour/baking soda is mixed, add sugar/shortening and mix well until all flour has been evenly mixed into sugar liquid. After mixing, allow mixture to sit in refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • After cooling, roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness with a rolling pin on a clean flour counter. Cut into desired cookie shapes, then repeat process until all dough is cut. Next, place cookies on prepared cookie sheets 3 to 4 inches apart.
  • Finally blend cinnamon, ginger, and brown sugar in a small bowl until well mixed. Then brush cookie with the whisked egg and finish with topping, spreading evenly. Then bake for about 15 minutes or until done.
  • Finish with powdered sugar, serve with eggnog and enjoy.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I substituted lemon juice in this recipe. The cookies turned out great!

These cookies are way too expensive. I can get a dozen cookies at the grocery store for half the price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The orange and bourbon flavors are so strong that the ginger is barely noticeable.

I've tried many orange bourbon ginger cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
