How to Make Texas Lizzies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup golden raisins and 1 cup dark raisins with 2 tablespoons of whiskey. Set aside to soak for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 cup chopped candied cherries.
  8. Fold in the raisin and whiskey mixture.
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
