If you’ve ever dreamed of turning a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie into a drinkable dessert — and giving it a serious kick — you’re going to love this Chocolate Chip Cookie Moonshine.

It’s rich, sweet, creamy, and loaded with chocolate flavor, making it the perfect after-dinner treat or unique holiday gift.

Let’s get into it!

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups vanilla vodka
• 1½ cups Everclear (or another high-proof neutral spirit)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional, for a more authentic cookie flavor)
• ¾ cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for garnish)
• Optional: 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for a richer chocolate note

Tip: Use mini chocolate chips — they melt faster and distribute more evenly into the moonshine base.

Equipment

• Saucepan
• Whisk
• Fine mesh strainer
• Large mixing bowl
• Mason jars or bottles

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sweet Base

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves into a syrup.

Step 2: Add the Chocolate

Lower the heat and whisk in the mini chocolate chips and cocoa powder (if using).
Keep whisking gently until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Ingredients

Remove the chocolate syrup from heat and let it cool slightly.

When just warm, whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Important: If the syrup is too hot, the cream can curdle — make sure it’s just warm before adding dairy.

Step 4: Add the Alcohol

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

Stir in the vanilla vodka and Everclear until fully blended.

Note: You can adjust the strength — add more cream for a softer drink, or more Everclear if you want it extra strong.

Step 5: Strain and Bottle

Strain the finished mixture through a fine mesh strainer to catch any chocolate solids.
Then pour into clean mason jars or bottles. Seal tightly.

Storing and Serving

• Refrigeration: Must be kept refrigerated. Best if consumed within 2–3 weeks because of the dairy.
• Shake Before Serving: Always shake well before pouring, as separation is normal.
• Serving Ideas: Serve chilled over ice, drizzle over coffee or milkshakes, or garnish with mini chocolate chips on top for a fun dessert drink.

Final Thoughts

Chocolate Chip Cookie Moonshine is a sweet, nostalgic blast of rich chocolate and vanilla cookie flavor — with just enough booze to make it interesting.

It’s cozy, decadent, and guaranteed to be a hit for holiday parties, birthday treats, or just because you feel like celebrating with something a little different.

Cheers!
