Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps ensure a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the Baileys Irish Cream to infuse the dough with its signature creamy, boozy flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness with a hint of Baileys in every bite.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature softened butter and eggs for even mixing.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent excessive spreading.
  • Cookies taste best fresh but can be stored up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • For extra indulgence, drizzle cooled cookies with a Baileys glaze made from powdered sugar and Baileys Irish Cream.
  • Freeze cookie dough balls on a tray, then transfer to a bag for up to 3 months; bake from frozen adding 1-2 minutes extra baking time.
