In a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and espresso powder; whisk well to combine then set aside.

In a separate large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and both sugars and beat on medium-speed until light and fluffy, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed; about 2 minutes.

Add in the vanilla extract and baileys Irish cream, and beat until combined.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating for 15 seconds after each addition. Turn mixer off. Using a wooden spoon or sturdy rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture, stirring only until the flour begins to disappear. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 2 hours (and up to 3 days) before baking. Or bake right away for regular cookies (they'll be thinner but still delicious!!!).

About this Recipe
Dreaming of a chocolate chip cookie with a grown-up twist? These Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies are the answer, delivering unbelievably thick, chewy, and super flavorful results that will quickly become a new favorite.
What makes these cookies truly special is the generous measure of Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur, infusing every bite with its signature creamy, sweet essence. The careful balance of dark brown sugar and granulated sugar ensures that coveted chewy texture, while a touch of espresso powder subtly enhances the chocolate flavor without making the cookies taste like coffee. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in creating a cookie that’s both comforting and sophisticated.
Prepare for a rich, satisfying cookie experience unlike any other. You'll find a delightful chewiness that yields to luscious pockets of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips. The subtle warmth of cinnamon and the depth from espresso powder perfectly complement the creamy Baileys notes, creating a sophisticated yet utterly comforting treat. These cookies are substantial and truly indulgent, making them a perfect pick-me-up or a memorable dessert.
For an even richer chocolate experience, consider swapping half of the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks. You could also experiment with milk chocolate chips for a sweeter profile if that's your preference. If you prefer a pure chocolate and Baileys focus, feel free to omit the ground cinnamon.
These sophisticated cookies are perfect for entertaining, a cozy evening indulgence, or as a delightful homemade gift for friends and family.
