Baileys Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baileys Chocolate Chip Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

2. Step 2

   Once combined, set this dry mixture aside for later.

3. Step 3

   Next, take a small saucepan and melt some butter over low heat.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s beautifully melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the rich Irish cream liqueur.

5. Step 5

   Let this delightful mixture cool for a moment while you prepare the next steps.

6. Step 6

   In a large mixing bowl, combine both brown sugar and white sugar, creating a sweet base for your cookies.

7. Step 7

   Pour in the cooled butter and Irish cream mixture, then beat everything together with a hand mixer for about a minute until it’s well blended and smooth.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to add an egg to the mix; stir until it’s fully incorporated.

9. Step 9

   Don’t forget to add a splash of vanilla bean paste for that extra depth of flavor, and mix again until everything is combined.

10. Step 10

    With your mixer set to low speed, gradually add the dry ingredient mixture, about a cup at a time, mixing until just combined.

11. Step 11

    Gently fold in those luscious semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

12. Step 12

    Cover your cookie dough and pop it in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up nicely.

13. Step 13

    While you wait, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray two baking sheets with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

14. Step 14

    Once the dough is ready, use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough, placing the balls on the prepared baking sheets with enough space between each one to allow for spreading.

15. Step 15

    Bake these delicious cookies in your preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly browned.

16. Step 16

    When they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes.

    The aroma will be irresistible, and soon you’ll be ready to enjoy these delightful treats!.
