I’m a bit off schedule with my posting this week. I’ve had midterms, which has put me a bit behind, and I really wanted to do Fill the Cookie Jar this month. So, since Fill the Cookie Jar is on Thursday, I just bumped Wednesday to Thursday. I love cookies so I really love this group, but I don’t always get around to making cookies.
This month’s theme was St. Patrick’s Day. My first thought was to make cookies with the grand kids that were here last weekend, but I really just couldn’t come up with anything that I have not already done, thought they would eat, and would stick to the theme. So, I decided on these Irish Cream Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies – without the kids because of the alcohol. These are yummy with just a hint of Irish Cream – enough to taste, but not enough to get tired of.
Don’t forget to scroll down and see all the other cookies from Fill the Cookie Jar this month!
Irish Cream Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies for #fillthecookiejar
Yield 36
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed

- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line 3 large cookies sheets with parchement
- Cream together butter and brown sugar in the large bowl of an electric mixer on medium until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low after each addition.
- While the mixer is running on low, slowly pour in the Irish Cream.
- Add flour and mix on medium until well combined.
- Mix in oats and chocolate chips with power set on low. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Drop by the tablespoon full (I use a cookie scoop that is just slightly larger than a tablespoon.) onto prepared cookie sheets.

These look yummy! My 14-year-old daughter is always looking for new cookie recipes!
You might want to use creamer with a 14 year old because of the alcohol. I’m sure some of it cooks out but probably not all.
Bailey’s is one of my favourite liqueurs ever.. I seriously cannot get over the delicious and creamy taste so I know these little cookies must have been divine!
It is one of my favorites too!
Yummy! oatmeal cookies with Baileys. Looks and sounds delish.
Thank you!
A delicious cookie Michelle. I love oatmeal chip cookies and the Irish Cream takes them to another level. I will definitely be making these, they would be great for an adult party.
Yes, they are definitely adult. Everyone used to say that the alcohol was cooked out of things, but now they say that is not true.
I bet the Irish cream just makes there irresistible! pinned
Thank you!
These sound so good! Before I found the Irish Butter Shortbread, I had been thinking of a cookie with Irish Cream. Your cookie sounds perfect, so I will have to try it!
YUM…these look really good! I love the addition of Irish Cream…I bet they’re super creamy!
Michelle these sound so good as an oatmeal cookie!
Michelle, seriously, I am going to be dreaming about these tonight. Plus I have this new coffee that’s Irish Cream flavored and these can count as breakfast right????
Never thought of cookie with Baileys, but I bet these are delicious. I would say healthy too because of the oatmeal!
Chocolate chip and oatmeal for adults! I like that idea!
I love the recipe with Bailey’s. While I was in Ireland last summer a couple hotels had Bailey’s and Bushmills available for your morning oatmeal porridge. Yum!
Yummo! Thank you for sharing on Show Me Saturday!
You are welcome! Thanks for the party!
