Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Step 3: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla bean paste, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated.
- Step 5: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Step 7: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
- When you're ready to enjoy the cookies again, simply reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to restore their soft texture.
- These cookies pair perfectly with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee, and you can elevate the experience by drizzling some extra Irish cream syrup on top before serving.
- For an extra indulgent twist, consider adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies right before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor and balance the sweetness.
