Bonus Post :)

Well I'm feeling kind of charitable today ... and so I made a quick batch of "Irish" cookies this afternoon .. They came out SO good That I am now sharing them with you ... Only one thing is necessary to get you to read more I guarantee it  ....

Ahem Do I have your attention ??

Now I present ... Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies . 

Look at those ingredients .. I mean, there's nothing "over the top" but goddamn .... everything is So delicious.

Get the butter, and sugars down in the mixer, and stir it up .. little darlin' stir it up.. 

One single little lonely egg .. ( Unless you double the batch .. Double the batch ..... I will next time )

Vanilla.. No I don't measure, but 2 ish tsp's .. 

Creamy Goodness..... I mean Baileys... I mean heaven.

The dry's...

I tossed in 8 oz of chocolate chips.. maybe more like 9...  with the flour .. and got it allll mixed together .... ( The original recipe suggested nuts and coconut, but I found all this unnecessary.. I just wanted a simple cookie .. and I feel my decision was a good one.)

Look at it .. isn't it delightful ??

get those babies on a prepared cookie sheet ...

360 ( yes 360 degrees, not 350, not 375 . ) for 10-12 min . 

These cookies don't move much when they bake .. they puff up a little .. but they certainly don't flatten out .. so make sure you take that into account when you bake them ... 

They are delicious.. The Baileys is resounding when you bite into the cookies and the chocolate makes you feel like your eating a little piece of a mudslide.. so wonderful .. make these.. I'm telling you -- You'll love them !
