Irish Cream Sugar Cookies

SUBMITTED BY: Kristin PHOTO BY: Samantha D.

"These are deliciously soft moist sugar cookies with the creamy richness of Bailey's Irish Cream! Wonderful as a St. Patrick's day treat or for any day you're craving a sugar cookie. I brought these to a party and within minutes, they disappeared. Feel free to omit the Bailey's and just cut down the flour by about half a cup."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in vanilla and egg yolk until combined, then beat in egg; beat until smooth. Pour in Irish cream, and beat until incorporated.
  2. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir into butter mixture until evenly mixed. Form into a flattened ball, wrap well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured work surface. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters and place onto prepared baking sheets.
