When using brandy in a noncooked filling for cookies is there concern with children and recovering alcoholics?
It would obviously depend on the amount of Brandy in the dish, however, if it isn't being heated/cooked, NONE of the alcohol will evaporate. You not only need to worry about children and alcoholics, but the elderly and other people on medications, as they are just as susceptible as children or alcoholics. I recommend a "flavoring", instead, or to heat and cool the Brandy before putting it into the dish.
