Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Sugars

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Add-ins

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is creamy and smooth, helping the dough to have a soft texture.
  3. Add Egg and Flavors: Beat in the large egg, followed by the Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract, combining thoroughly to infuse the batter with rich flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen cookies. Then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet spaced apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Baileys Irish Cream with an equal amount of milk or cream.
  • If desired, mix in chopped nuts for an additional crunchy texture.
