    In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, sugar, molasses, and bourbon until smooth and well blended, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
  • 3
    In another bowl, mix flour, ground ginger, and salt. Stir into butter mixture until well blended. Stir in almonds.
  • 4
    Drop dough in 1-tablespoon portions, 3 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheets.

    Bake cookies until slightly darker brown, 22 to 28 minutes; if baking more than one pan at a time, switch pan positions halfway through baking.
