- Use a medium cookie scoop and drop dough on baking sheets roughly 1" apart.

BAKE

Notes
Toss chocolate chips or other mix-ins in flour before adding them to the batter to evenly distribute them in the batter.
For bakery style cookies-place a few chocolate chips on top of the cookie puck.Use your favorite chocolate chips such as semi-sweet, bittersweet, white chocolate chips, toffee bits or a combination.
If time allows, let the batter rest as hydrating the flour is an important step for a light and tender bake. This step will also let the bourbon flavor meld into the batter.
You can make the batter ahead of time and place in the fridge and scoop batter when needed or scoop the batter into balls and freeze to bake later.
