Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I'll be making this again this year for the holidays. It's a wonderful cake that always impresses our guests.

I've added this to my pinterest page because the cake is delicious. We used a sugar free egg nog and cake mix and a reduced sugar Splenda blend for the syrup. I replaced the almonds with pecans (because we had more pecans than almonds) and it was amazing! Absolutely thrilled with this recipe.
