Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Mix the wet ingredients. Cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla and Bailey’s.
  • Mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
  • Combine. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Stir in white chocolate chips.
  • Chill. Chill dough for 30 minutes (recommended for thicker cookies).
  • Prep dough. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart.
  • Bake. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers still look slightly soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and enjoy!
