Wookies...

...and I'm not referencing Star Wars. I was baking sugar cookies and looked in my fridge and saw a box of Franzia. Classy, I know, but it made for some amazing cookies. I had some friends over and they deamed the tasty treat "wookies" aka wine cookies.

 

 

 

These cookies might be the best I've every made which is saying a lot. I substituted white wine for vanilla extract which was brilliant. The cookies turned out so fluffy and they melted in my mouth. I've decided I can't really go wrong when I'm baking with alcohol. It's extremely fun and results have always been great!
