Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 ½ – 2 cups white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Baileys Irish Cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly and place it on the prepared cookie sheet. (Note: these cookies won’t spread much, so be sure to flatten them a bit.)
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the edges begin to crack but the center remains soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each session until smooth. Dip each cookie into the melted chocolate as desired and return them to the parchment paper.
- Add sprinkles on top for a festive touch. Allow the chocolate to harden before enjoying!
Notes
- Add nuts like macadamia nuts, almonds, or walnuts for extra flavor and crunch.
- Swap white chocolate chips for dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- To make the cookies even boozier, add more Baileys, but be careful not to make the dough too runny.
