MIDNIGHT SNACK COOKIES

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Combine the butter, brown sugar and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the paddle, sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the peanut butter and beat on medium until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Add the egg and mix on medium speed until combined. Add the bourbon and vanilla and mix on low to incorporate. Scrape the paddle and bowl with the rubber spatula.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix on low until just combined. Scrape the paddle and bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the oats and chocolate-covered pretzels and mix on low until just incorporated. Scrape the paddle and bowl with the rubber spatula to make sure the dough is uniform.
• Using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop or 1/4-cup measuring spoon, scoop 6 mounds of dough onto each of the prepared baking sheets. Place 1 square of chocolate on top of each mound.
• Bake until the cookies have spread and are lightly browned around the edges, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating and switching the positions of the baking sheets after 8 minutes.
• Remove the sheets from the oven and immediately mist each cookie with 2 or 3 pumps from the spray bottle of bourbon. Let the cookies cool on the tray, about 15 minutes.
