Bourbon Brown Sugar Cookies

I saw these in TikTok and they looked so damn good. Bourbon is expensive, so it has to wait a while-- and the cheap bottle I found at the state store was $22-- so be warned. Turned out to be a really nice, smooth bourbon: American Honey by Wild Turkey. I recommend it for this recipe!
