Chocolate Maple Craisin Cookies (Or,Grown Up Boozy Cookies)

So, I went camping with my husband and some friends over the Memorial Day weekend, and decided to make a new kind of cookie.  We usually get properly sloshed on these trips, so I wanted to make an adult flavored cookie for us to enjoy.  Needless to say, these were enjoyed by us, and by my in-laws, and they were practically gone by the time we went home.  I got the recipe from The Naturally Good Cook.

In a small saucepan I combined 2 cups of Craisins with 1 cup of Brandy and let it come to boil on the stove.  After is boiled I set it aside for 30 minutes.

While that sat I combined 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of maple syrup in my standing mixer.

Once that came together I added 1 tsp of kosher salt, 2 tsp of cinnamon, 2 tsp of baking powder, 6 Tbsp of cocoa powder, and 3 cups of flour.

I added 12 oz of white chocolate chips and the drained craisins to the batter and mixed them up.

In a small bowl I mixed together a snickerdoodle mix of sugar and cinnamon.  I rolled each cookie ball in it and placed them on a cookie tray.

I baked them for 14 minutes at 350.

These have a very adult flavor, and probably wouldn't appeal to many kids.  That being said, they were really good.  They disappeared around the campfire!

Enjoy!
