Print Recipe

Indulge in these rich, chocolatey cookies infused with Baileys Irish Cream for a decadent, boozy twist. Perfect for festive gatherings or a luxurious treat, these cookies have a deep cocoa flavor balanced with smooth, creamy icing.

Ingredients

Cookies: 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (48 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon espresso powder (or instant coffee), 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ¾ cup unsalted butter (room temperature), ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, 2 large eggs (room temperature), ¼ cup (60 ml) Baileys Irish Cream.
Icing: 1 cup (120 g) confectioners’ sugar (sifted), 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream.

Instructions

  1. Prep for Perfection – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Dry Blend – In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Creamy Foundation – In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Rich Infusion – Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in Baileys and mix until just combined.
  5. Dough Creation – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated.
  6. Shape & Bake – Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake to Perfection – Bake for 10 minutes until edges are set and tops appear soft. Let cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Icing Elegance – Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and Baileys until smooth. Dip half of each cooled cookie in the icing. Add sprinkles if desired

Notes

  • For a stronger Baileys flavor, add an extra splash to the icing.
  • Make-ahead tip: Store unbaked dough in the fridge for up to 48 hours or freeze for later use.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle sea salt over the icing before it sets.

Enjoy these decadent Baileys-infused cookies—a perfect blend of chocolate, coffee, and creamy Irish liqueur!
