Whiskey Infused Dough Balls with Cinnamon Sugar

Delightfully boozy and irresistibly sweet, these Whiskey Infused Dough Balls with Cinnamon Sugar are my go-to when I want to impress guests or treat myself after a long week. I remember the first time I experimented with adding whiskey to dough; the kitchen smelled like a distillery, but the result was pure magic.

Ingredients

• For the dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whiskey
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
• For the coating:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, mix the whiskey, milk, egg, and 2 tbsp melted butter until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Tip: Don’t overmix to keep the dough balls tender.
5. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden and spring back when lightly touched.
7. While the dough balls bake, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
8. Once baked, brush the dough balls with the remaining 2 tbsp melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm. Tip: The warmth helps the sugar stick better.
9. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Tip: They’re best enjoyed warm, when the whiskey flavor is most pronounced.

Every bite of these dough balls offers a delightful crunch from the cinnamon sugar coating, followed by the soft, fluffy interior with a hint of whiskey warmth.

Kicking back with one of these strawberry shortcake dough ball whiskey desserts feels like indulging in a bite-sized piece of heaven. The fluffy dough balls, juicy strawberries, and boozy whipped cream come together in a symphony of textures and flavors.

Oreo Cream Dough Ball Whiskey Treats

Believe it or not, the first time I made these Oreo Cream Dough Ball Whiskey Treats was during a late-night craving session that turned into a kitchen experiment. Now, they’re a staple at my gatherings, blending the rich flavors of Oreo and whiskey into a bite-sized delight that’s surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients

• For the dough balls:
  • 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp whiskey
• For the coating:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese until well combined. Tip: Use a fork to mash the cream cheese into the crumbs for an even mix.
2. Add the whiskey to the mixture and stir until the dough forms. Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid seizing.
5. Dip each frozen dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated, then return to the baking sheet. Let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

The texture is a delightful contrast between the crunchy chocolate shell and the creamy, boozy center. Serve these treats on a platter with a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance, or simply enjoy them straight from the fridge for a firmer bite.

Smoky BBQ Dough Ball Whiskey Snacks

Unbelievably, the first time I stumbled upon the idea for Smoky BBQ Dough Ball Whiskey Snacks was during a casual backyard BBQ with friends. The combination of smoky flavors, soft dough, and a hint of whiskey was a game-changer for our snack game. Since then, it’s become my go-to recipe for gatherings, especially when I want to impress with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• For the dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast, 3/4 cup warm water (110°F), 2 tbsp olive oil
• For the BBQ sauce: 1 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 cup whiskey
• For finishing: 1 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp smoked sea salt

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Tip: If the dough sticks to your hands, add a little more flour.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough rises, prepare the BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and whiskey in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Tip: For a smoother sauce, blend it after cooking.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Brush each dough ball with the prepared BBQ sauce, ensuring they’re fully coated. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Tip: For extra smokiness, sprinkle smoked sea salt on top before baking.
8. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter while still warm.

Fresh out of the oven, these dough balls are irresistibly soft with a smoky, slightly sweet BBQ crust that’s perfectly complemented by the whiskey’s warmth. Serve them stacked on a wooden board with extra BBQ sauce for dipping, and watch them disappear before your eyes.
