Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Pour in the Baileys Irish Cream and mix until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best flavor, enjoy within 2-3 days of baking.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Use room temperature eggs to help them blend more smoothly into the dough.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly.
- For extra richness, consider using high-quality dark chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their moisture and flavor.
- These cookies pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk!
