Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the cinnamon sugar coating:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the Fireball Whisky.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Gradually blend into the creamed mixture.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until set but not too hard. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Fireball Whisky with an equal amount of water mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon extract.
These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.
Feel free to experiment with additional mix-ins such as chocolate chips or nuts for a personalized touch.
Remember, the key to the perfect Fireball Cookie is not to overbake them. They should be removed from the oven while still soft in the center for that perfectly chewy texture.
Enjoy these cookies with a warm beverage or as a standalone treat. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings, special occasions, or as a comforting snack on a chilly day.
