Bitters contain alcohol and even a drop is detrimental to an alcoholic!!!
While quite good…bitters DO contain alcohol!! Just a warning that this recipe does not disclose!
Hi Brett, yes, bitters do contain alcohol, however, there are 4 dashes in 6 servings this is a VERY small amount (less than a 1/4 teaspoon) and generally is not considered “alcoholic”. Vanilla extract generally contains more alcohol and you won’t consider no-bake cookies alcoholic because you added vanilla extract to them.
