Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine together the flour, baking soda, cocoa, and salt.
- 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a bowl using a hand mixer), cream together the butter and the sugars. Make sure to pull the butter out of the fridge 2 hours before making the cookie dough so that it has time to come to room temperature.
- 3
Add in the vanilla and eggs to the creamed butter. Mix well, then mix in the Baileys.
- 4
To the wet ingredients, slowly add the dry ingredients mixing after each addition.
- 5
Hand mix in the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
- 6
Place the bowl of dough into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
- 7
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 8
Next, scoop the dough using a cookie dough scoop and place the dough balls onto the baking sheet. Place them about 1 1/2 - 2 inches apart. You can either bake the cookies or freeze them.
- 9
Place cookies into the pre-heated oven, one tray at a time. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, taking them out as soon as they start turning brown. Make sure you DO NOT over bake them. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before putting baked cookies on a cooling rack. You can put the baking tray in the freezer for a few minutes to cool it off quickly to bake more cookie dough.

About this Recipe
Craving a cookie that's a step above the rest, one that truly impresses with its depth of flavor? These Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies are your answer, offering a sophisticated twist on a beloved classic perfect for any occasion. What makes these cookies truly special is the thoughtful combination of classic ingredients with a luxurious secret weapon: Baileys Irish cream. This luscious liqueur infuses the dough with a warm, subtle richness that complements the chocolate beautifully. A touch of cocoa powder further deepens the chocolate notes, creating a complex, craveable flavor profile that elevates the humble chocolate chip cookie to gourmet status. The careful balance ensures you get that comforting, familiar taste with an irresistible grown-up flourish. Prepare for a delightful sensory experience with every bite. You'll discover cookies that are wonderfully chewy and soft on the inside, delivering that quintessential melt-in-your-mouth satisfaction, while boasting a slightly crisp outside that provides a pleasing textural contrast. The distinctive hint of Irish cream plays harmoniously with the deep cocoa and abundant chocolate chips, creating a sweet, rich, and utterly indulgent treat. These cookies strike an ideal balance of sweetness and nuanced flavor, making them incredibly satisfying without being overly rich. While the Baileys Irish cream is central to this recipe's charm, you can easily personalize these cookies. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips – milk, dark, or even white chocolate would offer interesting variations. For a fun textural contrast, a handful of chopped toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts could be folded into the dough. If you're looking for an extra layer of flavor, a pinch of espresso powder alongside the cocoa can really make the chocolate sing. These sophisticated chocolate chip cookies are perfect for entertaining guests, bringing to a potluck, or simply enjoying as a decadent evening treat. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee, a glass of cold milk, or even alongside a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an extra special dessert.
