Hop, Skip and Go Naked Cookies

Back at Christmas, I was in a flurry of baking cookies when someone posted on Facebook they were making hop, skip and go naked cookies. When another person commented they loved the cocktails, I was intrigued. Cookies inspired by a cocktail. This is my kind of cookie!

Now, I discovered the drink is simply beer, frozen lemonade and vodka. I am not sure if it is good, but it sounds like something you would drink on PCB:)

Now back to the cookies. Start by creaming brown sugar and white sugar with shortening and butter.

Add eggs, milk, and rum or brandy and mix till combined. If you don’t want to use alcohol, substitute almond extract.

 

Now it is time to add the good stuff. Start with toffee pieces.

Then add chocolate chips.

Stir to combine evenly throughout the dough.

Bake on 375 for 8-9 minutes on parchment lined cookie sheets. I didn’t use parchment paper and regretted it. Don’t be me. Use the parchment.

Be warned, I woofed down about 4 cookies mindlessly. These cookies have the perfect amount of chewiness and chocolate with the brandy leaving just a hint of flavor.
