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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, which helps create a tender texture.
- Add Egg and Flavors: Mix in the egg, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract until all ingredients are well combined, adding a moist, flavorful base to the dough.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, remove them from the oven when the centers look slightly underbaked; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute Baileys Irish Cream with another cream liqueur or milk for a different flavor profile.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each cookie before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor.
