Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter
1 ½ tablespoons Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
cooking spray

Steps:

Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
Heat butter in a small pa on low heat until melted. Remove from heat, stir in Irish cream liqueur, and let cool.
Combine white and brown sugar in a large bowl and pour in cooled butter and Irish cream liqueur. Beat with a hand mixer for about 1 minute. Add in egg and mix well, then add vanilla paste.
With the mixer on low, slowly add in mixed dry ingredients, about 1 cup at a time, until just mixed together. Fold in chocolate chips and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scooper, scoop out golf-ball sized balls from the cookie dough and set onto the baking sheets, leaving room in between.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bottom edges are browned, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
