Ingredients
- 2 and 1/2 c all-purpose flour 315 g
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 and 1/2 tsp espresso powder
- 1 c unsalted butter at room temperature (227 g)
- 1 c dark brown sugar packed (213 g)
- 1/2 c granulated sugar 99 g
- 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips 340 g
Instructions
- Let's start by preparing the ingredients. In a bowl whisk together 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of powder.
- Next, we'll work on the butter and sugars. In a bowl beat together 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of packed dark brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Now it's time to add in the liquids. Mix in 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of Baileys Irish Cream.
- We need to incorporate the eggs. Beat in two eggs, one, at a time.
- To bring everything together gently fold the flour mixture into the ingredients until they are just combined. Stir in an amount of sweet chocolate chips (about 12 ounces).
- If you prefer thicker cookies you have the option to chill the dough for at least two hours or up to three days.
- When you're ready to bake preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Shape your cookies by rolling the dough into balls (three tablespoons each) and place them on your prepared baking sheets while leaving some space, between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in an oven for around 10 to 12 minutes. Until the edges turn a beautiful golden color while keeping the center soft.
- Once baked let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool down.
- Now, enjoy your made Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Notes
Making these Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies gluten-free is a piece of cake. Simply swap out the all-purpose flour, with your gluten-free flour blend. Look for a blend that is specifically designed for 1:1 substitution to make things straightforward. It's also an idea to choose a blend that includes xanthan gum as it helps replicate the texture and elasticity of gluten ensuring your cookies maintain their desired chewiness and tenderness. Don't forget to check that your Baileys Irish Cream espresso powder and chocolate chips are all gluten-free as well.
