Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.

Chill the Dough:

Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dough firm up.

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Shape and Bake:

Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft.

Cool and Serve:

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve with a glass of milk or a shot of Baileys for an extra indulgent treat!

Enjoy these rich, chocolatey cookies with a delightful hint of Baileys!
