What in the devil is a Jägerdoodle?
Well dear, when a Snickerdoodle and a shot of Jagermeister fall in love...umm...uh, I'll tell you when you're older.
Now, this is not necessarily an easy sell of a cookie. When I told my mom that I made a Jäger-y cookie, she asked me twice if I really put Jäger in the cookies. The answer was yes both times. Hence the name, ma. (Don't hate me for teasing you. Remember, you love me very much.)
Here the doodles are all dressed up in sugar and anise. Yes, anise. It enhances the Jageriness. Brace yourselves...bold flavor straight ahead. These spicy morsels can trick the eye, but definitely not the nose. You can smell that licorice-y goodness a mile away. It was torture for cookie-taster Karli, who is no fan of black licorice. What Jägermeister blasphemy!
Want to make your own Drunken Snickerdoodles or Jägerdoodles? Here is a basic field guide:
- Prepare your favorite Snickerdoodle dough, using Jägermeister in place of the vanilla extract and anise in place of cinnamon.
- Eat them heartily with a tall glass of Jager...I mean milk...with a chaser of Jager...or...nevermind.
- You can also experiment with your favorite liquors and make an assortment of Drunken Snickerdoodles! Sounds like a party to me!
