There’s a story behind the creation of these homemade Captain Morgan Chocolate Chip Cookies like with any cocktail-esque creation or any of my boozy bite recipes.

In college, I fell in love with all things Captain Morgan thanks to a dear friend who constantly had a Captain & Coke in hand. Confession – there was one time during a Criminal Justice class where I went to take a sip of his coke only to find it was a bit “spirited” with a touch of Captain – talk about a bit of a surprise. Since my college days, when I want a cocktail with a bit of comfort, I will often pour a Captain & Coke.

This dear friend was an MP in the National Guard. When he and his unit deployed to Croatia and Bosnia, I was tasked with sending care packages from our crew. One thing he always mentioned was the lack of Captain Morgan on base. However, with rules, I couldn’t just ship him some bottles of his favorite rum. So – after a bit of thought, these homemade Captain Morgan Chocolate Chip Cookies were born. …

I tend to be more of a traditionalist when it comes to the holidays. That means turkey for Thanksgiving, either ham or turkey for Christmas and definitely ham on Easter. However, after the nightmare of the Ham Burn of Christmas Long Ago, I’m sure you can understand why I tend to be a bit gun shy.

For Easter, I wanted to mix two of my favorite flavors – bourbon and cider – for a glaze that really would kick the ham into high gear. And, an added bonus is with a fully cooked ham, there would be no boiling, no drama and definitely none of those “what is in those” packets to glaze the ham.
