The recipes are not those in the cookie shops but they are still fabulously delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made some tweaks to her recipe, but one thing I didn't touch was the addition of coffee liqueur. I used my <a href=\"https:\/\/thatrecipe.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/24\/homemade-kahlua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3 year old homemade Kahlua<\/a>. It is about time for me to make up some more to be ready for Christmas time. The recipe calls for 2 teaspoons and once you cut them into 24- 30 bars any alcohol remaining after baking is negligible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But,\u00a0if you strictly avoid alcohol, just use strong coffee and maybe a pinch more sugar. This is a judgement free zone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-21195\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"21195\" data-servings=\"0\"><div
