Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and coffee liqueur until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips (and chopped nuts, if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these liqueur-laced chocolate chip cookies on their own, or serve them with a cold glass of milk—or even a shot of coffee liqueur for an adult pairing!
