Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies


Coffee and Irish Cream is my all-time favourite drink treat and this is like having it in cookie-form!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 c flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder (I use Nescafe Gold)
  • 1 c salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • 1/2 white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp Irish Cream liqueur
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 pkg (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • coarse sea salt

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and instant espresso powder.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter together with brown and white sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and Irish Cream. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Slowly add the flour mixture, on low speed. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Scoop a large amount of dough (I use an ice-cream scoop) and roll into a ball. Place on a baking sheet leaving 2 inches between cookies. Sprinkle a tiny amount of coarse sea salt on top. Put the dough back in the refrigerator between each batch.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
