There's 2 tbsp 20% liqueur in the entire batch. That's 30 ml, or 6 ml ethanol, which is 0.6 units. In 24 cookies that's 0.025 units each. <br /><br />How many Units to get little Timmy tipsy? 3? That's 120 cookies without taking into account you let most of it evaporate in the pan and oven, and that the cookies you're not "drinking" on an empty stomach.
