Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

Because sometimes you just need to chew your alcohol. Seriously, sometimes you need a drink and a cookie at the same time. This little nugget of heaven is for that time. Say you were on the train and someone pissed you off, maybe they stepped on your foot, or the man in a business suit decided it was more important that he sit instead of the seven month pregnant woman in front of him, or the eighty year old woman beside him. Maybe you've started to ponder what ever happened to chivalry, or better yet, common decency in said public places. Or maybe you don't need an excuse at all. Maybe, just maybe, you're Irish like me, so Bailey's is a suitable substitute for milk just about anywhere, possibly in your cereal, coffee, or cookies.

Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 1/2 c. butter1
  • /2 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. Bailey's original Irish cream
  • 2 1/4 c. cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 c. coconut
  • 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Cream butter, sugars and egg until fluffy. Add vanilla and Bailey's Irish cream. Mix dry ingredients and blend into creamed mixture. Add coconut, nuts and chips. Drop onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool.

See...this would be a great 'hangover cookie'. Get some carbs, little bit of some chocolate and just enough alcohol to perhaps take the edge off ;)

My brother-in-law gave us a bottle of Bailey's for Christmas. I Googled for this recipe and gave it a try. I made them to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I made 60 smaller cookies, my wife is taking 20 to work, as am I. That will leave only 20 for us. I think I'll be making more REAL soon! These cookies are the BEST! I've made chocolate chip. oatmeal. peanut butter, banana and various combination cookies, but none as deliyummylicious as these. Thanks for the recipe.

maybe you should just speak up and tell people where to go instead of nurturing your diabetes!

You know what I just love. When anonymous people leave rude comments giving advice. I love that.
