Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (17.9 oz) package Snickerdoodle cookie mix (with cinnamon sugar packet set aside)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons Fireball Cinnamon Whisky (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Remove cinnamon-sugar packet from cookie mix and pour into a small bowl; set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cookie mix, butter, egg, and Fireball whisky. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  4. Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls.
  5. Coat each ball in the reserved cinnamon sugar.
  6. Place balls on the baking sheets, 2–3 inches apart.
  7. Chill for 30–45 minutes.
  8. Bake for 14–16 minutes, one tray at a time, until edges are just golden and centers set.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes on tray, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. For frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
  11. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in Fireball whisky until thick and smooth.
  12. Pipe frosting onto cooled cookies in a spiral pattern.
  13. Decorate as desired and serve.

Notes

  • Chill dough before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Use cinnamon extract or apple cider for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Store in refrigerator for 2–3 days or freeze unfrosted cookies for up to 2 months.
  • Let refrigerated cookies sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  • Frosting can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
