Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 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

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 together with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. This ensures a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Egg and Flavors: Incorporate the egg, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and homogeneous.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Using a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden color. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using room temperature butter allows for better creaming with sugars, which improves texture.
  • Do not overmix once adding the flour to avoid tough cookies.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and allow residual heat to finish cooking on the sheet.
  • Baileys Irish Cream adds a subtle, rich flavor but can be substituted with milk or cream if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
