Salted Bourbon Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
Author Notes

Like most things in life, classic chocolate chip cookies get better when you add Bourbon. The sweetness of the chocolate chips is paired with a sprinkle of sea salt and the warm complexity of Bourbon to create a perfect combination of complimentary flavors.

Inspired by Savory Sweet Life's chocolate chip cookie recipe, found here: http://savorysweetlife.com/2009/10/alices-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe/ —Jes Siart
