These creamy Baileys Irish cream cookies offer a tender crumb with a rich, velvety flavor and a subtle boozy punch, perfect for celebrations or cozy treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) Baileys Irish cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar, for rolling (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add Baileys Irish cream and vanilla extract. Mix until combined but smooth and airy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each ball gently in powdered sugar and place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are light golden and centers look slightly soft.
  8. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if too sticky. Avoid overmixing flour to keep cookies tender. Roll dough balls gently in powdered sugar for crackly finish. Bake one sheet at a time on middle rack for even baking. Cookies continue to firm as they cool.
