Reminds me of a very old cartoon of a baker, pouring a bottle into the dough, and explaining to another baker, “It’s what makes people so crazy about our rye bread.”
In the movie State Farm, the misses was making a mince meat pie for the pie competition. Other members of the family kept adding rum to the mixture. Needless to say the judges, being under the influence, voted hers best. Wally Cox was one of the judges. He made a good accidental drunk.
I’ve got a few recipes for making cookies and cakes with whiskey, but I don’t remember where. I do know that you have to make sure not to get too much liquid in your batter or it won’t firm up.
So, as much whiskey as you’re comfortable with in order to get the consistency that you can tolerate.
Southerners will put all kinds of alcohol into all kinds of recipes. Except mac ‘n’ cheese, I’ve never come across a mac ‘n’ cheese recipe with alcohol, probably don’t want to mess with the cheesy goodness.

Aunty, for you the question should be: “How much cookie goes into this whisky?”

I cook with wine. Sometimes some of it makes it into the food.

Enough to be lightly baked, and you’re able to keep the cookies from burning.

I thought “WHISKY” was the call sign for the USS Wisconsin (BB 64).

If it’s Rum Balls, anywhere from 1/3 to2/3 cup of rum.
