Does A Booty Good Cookies
February 20, 2011
At Christmas my sister, Laurie, gifted me with some gourmet cupcakes but what I loved the most about them was the box. I have it sitting on my scale and knew I needed to create some "Does A Booty Good" cookies. Then I remember these grand marnier cream cheese chocolate chip cookies. These are the first recipe I ever had published (in a small church cookbook), I was 19 I think. Gosh, grand marnier,19 and a church cookbook, well, I will not comment ;-)
Boy, nothing does your booty better than cream cheese, chocolate and grand marnier!!!! Now being a spoiled brat that I was at 19 (I did not have to pay for that grand marnier, thank you daddy for letting me use yours for the cookies!!) I thought nothing of using a 1/4 cup. But I am a big girl now (and have to buy my own) and wow, the stuff is expensive. I am posting the recipe the original way I wrote it but between me and you, now, I would NEVER waste good, incredibly expensive grand marnier on cookies. Instead I would use an inexpensive orange liqueur and save the grand marnier to have with the cookie!!. Enjoy xoxo
Does A Booty Good or Grand Marnier Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
½ cup butter
6 oz. cream cheese
½ cup evaporated cain or granulated sugar
½ cup rapadura or brown sugar
2 eggs
1 TSP grated orange peel
1 tsp vanilla
¼ cup Grand Marnier (or cheap triple sec or orange juice)
2 cups flour (whole pastry or all-purpose)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup dark chocolate, chopped or chips
Pre-heat oven 350
Cream butter, cheese and sugars together.
Add eggs, peel, vanilla and Grand Marnier; beat well.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate. Drop from teaspoon 2 inches apart on un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake about 10-12 minutes, until edges start to brown and center puffs up a bit.
Yum, they sound so good. I never thought of cup cakes as a gift but I know I would love that too. We have a place in town that also uses pink boxes, they are just too cute! Blessings to you sister!! Dianntha

The box is hilarious! and the cookies look like they will be delicious.
I can't believe that a church let a 19 year old publish a recipe with Grand Marnier, but then what were you doing with GM in the first place.
Love checking in on you dear Clarice.

I use brandy and Grand Marnier to soak my fruitcakes with at Christmas. Just this yr tho I found a brandy with orange liqueur in it that is much cheaper than Grand Marnier. And by talking to the shop owner I found out its made with Cognac which is just aged brandy. So I could use the cheaper one and it wouldnt matter. You might want to do that or mix the orange liqueur with a bit of brandy.
