A truly boozy and sweet spread of Scotch-infused Madagascar chocolate serves as the filling for Hazelnut Whisky Cookies by Whimsy & Spice. So often liquor is simply used only in name for sweets, but here it actually plays a prominent, heady role. The cookies themselves have equal parts ground hazelnuts and chocolate chips, crunchy numbers that are excellent even without the spread. They come six sandwiches to a bag for $9, and are best when warmed up until the filling gets gooey and soft.
