Ingredients
  

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

        Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, incorporate the vanilla extract and Baileys Irish Cream until fully combined.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly once out of the oven.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delectable Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
