1 large egg

¼ cup Baileys Irish Cream

½ tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt

Instructions
. Cream the Butter & Sugars:
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2–3 minutes).
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
-
Mix in the egg, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips:
-
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Chill the Dough (optional but recommended):
-
For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30–60 minutes.
6. Bake:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Scoop dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are still slightly soft.
7. Cool & Enjoy:
-
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt (optional) and enjoy warm or cooled!
