Ingredients

    For the cookies:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • For the frosting:
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream liqueur (if you prefer not to use Baileys replace with milk)
  • Optional: green food color

Instructions

    For the cookies:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl combine the flour, cocoa, espresso, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, add the butter and the sugars. Use a mixer and blend for a few minutes. Add the vanilla and the egg and blend again to combine.
  4. A little at a time, add the flour mixture until combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Drop by the tablespoon onto the baking pans, about two inches apart.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove and allow to sit for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Add the frosting to the cookies once completely cooled.
  9. For the frosting:
  10. Use a mixer to blend the butter for a minute or so. Add the Baileys (or milk) and blend to combine.
  11. A little at a time, add the confectioners sugar and blend until combined.
  12. Add 3-4 drops of green food color to the mixture and blend until incorporated.
  13. For a thicker frosting, add more sugar. To thin the frosting, add a teaspoon or so of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  14. Spread over the completely cooled cookies.

    Oh, I love Bailey's - it's one of my favourite drinks: soft and creamy. The cookies look delish! Never made cookies with Bailey's, only cheesecake.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
