Delight in these rich and buttery Bailey’s Irish Cream Butter Cookies, featuring a tender crumb infused with Irish cream liquor and topped with chocolate-covered espresso beans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 sticks (24 Tablespoons) butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Irish cream liquor
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 48 chocolate covered espresso beans
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1¼ tablespoon Irish cream liquor

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons Irish cream liquor, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined and a soft dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them evenly spaced on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  5. Press one chocolate-covered espresso bean onto the top center of each dough ball.
  6. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
  7. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets or on a wire rack.
  8. While the cookies cool, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners sugar and 1¼ tablespoons of Irish cream liquor until smooth and creamy.
  9. Transfer the glaze into a small zip-top bag and snip off a tiny corner to create a piping tip. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
  10. Allow the glazed cookies to sit undisturbed until the glaze firms up before serving or storing.

Notes

  • These cookies are perfect for festive occasions or cozy afternoons.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
