Caramel Whiskey Cookies
A bit of yogurt replaces part of the butter in the traditional cookie, but you would never know. I get a lot of requests for these and can’t make a cookie tray without them. —Priscilla Yee, Concord, California

These cookies were easy to make and really yummy. I will definitely make these again.
This is award winning. Baked these for Christmas gifts & got rave reviews.
Wonderful! The basic cookie is a great foundation for all types of toppings, and the cookies are easy!
I too felt the dough was fairly crumbly. I refrigerated it overnight though and was able to easily form balls the following evening. I took the cookies to our departmental holiday potluck and they were a huge success. Maybe reducing the flour by 1/2 cup would do the trick. Happy Holiday Baking! Rachel
I was really looking forward to these cookies. I measured everything correctly but there was no way you could shape these into balls, they were too crumbly. I did try to squeeze them into a ball but as soon as I tried to press them with the glass they just crumbled to pieces. So the dough just ended up in the trash. I would love some suggestions as to what went wrong. They look so good in the picture
