Ingredients For Irish Cream Edible Cookie Dough
Making this Irish Cream Edible Cookie Dough takes little time and minimal effort! As well as a handful of easy ingredients! To make up a batch you’ll need:
- Pantry Staples – Light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Irish Flavor – I love using my Homemade Irish Cream Recipe to add the best Irish flavor to this dough! But feel free to just use some Baileys Irish Cream if you’d like to simplify making this cookie dough.
- Salted Butter – Helps the dough hold its shape as well as add flavor.
- Chocolate Chips – I used a combination of mini chocolate chips and mini white chocolate chips.
- Sprinkles – Optional, but does add touch of holiday fun for serving!
How Is This Cookie Dough Safe To Eat?
It’s eggless cookie dough, so that eliminates the risk of potential salmonella. To further ensure it’s safe to consume the flour is heat-treated in the oven to a high temperature.
This simple process kills off any bacteria that the flour may have in it.
How To Make Bailey’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Bake the flour on a cookie sheet. Then allow it to cool completely.
- Cream the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and Irish cream slowly.
- Mix in the salt and baked flour until combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips and serve!
Rebecca’s Tips
- For a non-alcoholic version of this recipe, just swap out the liquor for Irish Cream coffee creamer!
- Feel free to add an additional ounce or two of Irish cream to obtain a stronger flavor. Just keep in mind that adding more will create a softer dough.
- If you prefer, you can just use one kind of chocolate chips in this cookie dough recipe. I personally enjoy the dough most when it has a mix of white and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Another way to heat treat the flour is to microwave it in a bowl instead of baking it in the oven. To do so, microwave it for five 15-second intervals, stirring between each one. The flour is safe to use once it has reached a temperature of at least 160 degrees F. To check the temperature, you can simply use a kitchen thermometer!
How To Store Edible Cookie Dough
Simply place it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Then enjoy it for up to 3 days!
