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.

Add in the vanilla and eggs to the creamed butter. Mix well, then mix in the Baileys.

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.
