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 ensure the cookies bake evenly and do not stick.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Add Egg and Flavors: Mix in the large egg, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract thoroughly until the wet ingredients are well combined, infusing the dough with rich flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overworking the dough. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the perfect chewy texture.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugars.
- Do not overmix once the flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- For extra flavor, consider chilling the dough for an hour before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
