¼ cup bourbon

¼ cup semisweet chocolate chip

1 ½ cups all-purpose unbleached flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 1/3 cups Wholesome Sweeteners’ Organic Sugar

6 tablespoons butter, softened

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large, cage-free eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Bring bourbon to a boil in a small saucepan; remove from heat.  Add chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife.  Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, stirring with a whisk.

Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well combined.  Add vanilla and eggs; beat well.  Add flour mixture and bourbon mixture to sugar mixture, beating at low speed just until combined.

Spread batter into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in pan on wire rack.
