Description
These Baileys Chocolate Cookies are tender, chewy and melt in your mouth! They have just the right amount of Baileys flavor – not too overpowering, but definitely there. The combination of Baileys and chocolate is pure heaven in a cookie!
Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
- 1/4 cup (29g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (112g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60ml) Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur
Baileys Glaze
- 1 1/4 cups (144g) powdered sugar
- 2–4 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add the Baileys and mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not over mix.
- Scoop 2 tablespoon sized balls (I like to use a cookie scoop). Place the cookie dough balls on the lined cookie sheet. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers just look done.
- Remove from the oven let cool for 3-4 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, you can make the glaze, if using it. Add the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of Baileys to a medium size bowl and whisk together. Add additional Irish cream, if needed, until it comes together. If you thin it out too much, you can add a little more powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the glaze over cookies and allow to dry completely, then serve.
- Store cookies in an air-tight container. Separate layers with parchment paper. Best if eaten within 4-5 days.
