Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup (60ml) Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in Bailey’s Irish Cream and vanilla extract until the dough is creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls about 2 tablespoons each onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use softened butter, not melted, for best texture. Keep Bailey’s to ¼ cup to avoid overly wet dough. Chill dough for 15 minutes if too sticky. Store cookies in airtight container with a slice of bread to keep soft. Dough balls freeze well and can be baked from frozen with extra baking time.
