Chocolate Bailey's Butter Cookies

A little chocolate and a hint of Bailey's makes this smooth, buttery cookie even harder to resist. Drizzle a little green icing (flavored with Bailey's of course) to make it a wee bit of a St. Patrick's Day celebration.


1 c. unsalted butter
2/3 c. granulated sugar
1 3/4 c. flour
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp Bailey's Irish Cream

pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and Bailey's. Mix in dry ingredients.

Drop rounded tablespoons onto a lightly-greased baking sheet. Bake until cookie looks "dry" -- about 10-12 minutes.

Yields about 3 dozen cookies.
