Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them and let them sit on the baking sheet for a few extra minutes before transferring.
You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze them for longer storage.
The addition of Baileys gives these cookies a unique flavor that pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea. Enjoy!
