Double Fudge Irish Cream Cookies.
What better way to celebrate my Irish heritage than with a little chocolate and irish cream?
In cookie form of course.
With a beverage on the side.
At least it’s not green beer.
Bad memories.
I shiver at the thought.
This is one of the only ways I will ever drink coffee.
Oh. I’ll drink it like this too. Off of a soggy cookie.
These cookies are a perfect treat for St. Patrick’s Day and are so soft, chocolaty and delicious. You could try other flavors of Bailey’s too. You can add more chocolate chips or even add a touch of mint. You can dip each cookie in straight Bailey’s on the rocks.
I highly suggest baking them today, in anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day. Lots of taste testing is required and you’ll have to do your fair share of quality control. Life is tough.

I like way too many of these for breakfast. Delightful. :)
Anything with “double fudge” in the title automatically gets bookmarked by me! Thanks for the recipe, Jess! :-)
Um hi Bailey’s, we’re your number one fans. Seriously, is there anything better? Oh right, putting it in a cookie with chocolate. Genius lady, genius.
nyom, these look delicious! Perfect for a Paddy’s day treat, I think! And, if it snows (as is forecast) on the day, it’s the perfect excuse to curl up at home with coffee + cookies! Win-Win, I think?
greetings from the west of Ireland :)
Josh lovessss baileys…hed go nuts if I made these. I’m excited to see St. Patty’s day recipes popping up all over the place. I have no idea what I’m going to make/do yet
Irish you’d send me a batch of these bad boys…STAT!
Hahahahah! Love that.
Our next door neighbours are Irish and they have invited us to a party this weekend. I have already said I am going to make a cake (green icing of course!), but now I think I will have to make these cookies too.
I’m sure nobody will mind the arrival of the extra food….
I’m still stuck on the white chocolate PB.
Oooh, I have some mint Baily’s – I bet that will be fantastic! I am making these this week for sure!
These cookies sound lovely! The Irish girl in me feels like eating 5 of these!
Yum! I can’t wait to make these for my hubby (and for me) ;)
Ooooh these would be fun to make for St. Patrick’s Day :)
i LOVE that last shot…i’d like a coffee cup that’s half cookie, half coffee!
I love Bailey’s in baked goods. I made a car bomb cake a few months ago that was AMAZING!
I think I remember that? Those are so good!
I loooooooooove baileys! I mean, i have blogged about it lots to the point that i must sound like an alch-ey. :)
These cookies look amazing!
And nice action shot with the coffee pouring off that cookie. Nice.
And the last pic, very stylistically creative with the cookie/cup setup. :)
I’m dying over the picture of this delicious looking cookie dipped into coffee…. I need that for breakfast now.
I can just imagine eating one of these hot cookies now…probably would be better for breakfast than this bowl of chocolate chia oats I am eating now!
This looks seriously amazing. I’d love to have a plate of these with my cup of joe this morning!
Yummmm! I haven’t had Bailey’s in far too long. I think that needs to change. Well, maybe not right now at 8am.. but soon.
What’s wrong with it at 8am? ;)
These look really delicious!!
Wowie–the luck of the Irish in dessert form!
I like the way you think! I made some triple chocolate chocolate covered espresso cookies the other day, now I’ll have to try the recipe with Bailey’s Irish Creme!
You should write a fun cookie recipe book!
genius!
Bailey’s is my favorite! These cookies look dynamite! Jessica, you always know how to my me drool!
They look beautiful! What a good St. Patty’s Day cookie!
omgggg droollll :) I was actually thinking these would be perfect to make this week!! Mostly b/c it gives me a *reason* to buy a huge bottle of Bailey’s….then be forced to drink the rest after making one batch…can’t leave that stuff layin’ around ;D
I think that sounds perfect.
What a perfect St. Patty’s treat! MUCH better than green beer :-)
mmm~~this makes my heart happeeee!!! with all of the sad news i have been watching on tv…i knew you would post something GREAT today!!! my heart and thoughts go out to Japan!!!!
Aw, this was so sweet girl! I agree.
I have a bottle of Bailey’s in my fridge right now. How perfect!
soooo wishing I had some bailey’s for my morning coffee now :) and a few cookies to dunk.
I gave up sweets for lent (so why am I here? moving on..) but if I’m not mistaken, I think I learned somewhere in my 13 years of Catholic school that St. Patrick’s day doesn’t count for lent. Right? I think I’ll just go with that.
Sundays don’t count either. :)
These cookies sound amazing! Way better than green beer. :)
Woman, you are so baaad. ;)
I love soggy cookies dipped in whatever. Yum!! :) Those look so chocolate-y and amazing.
I’m making these for everyone at work :-)
Baileys and these cookies = what I am doing tonight! This looks fabulous! Cannot wait to try! Plus, this gives you an excuse to have baileys whenever you want, right?! (PS I am with you on the green beer, uhg)
Yes. Like… for breakfast too.
GAH so so so good!!
I’m making my hubby a St. Patty’s day dinner this week. I was thinking I was tied down to beers with our dinner but, you reminded me of this sweet treat! Thanks!
I was sold as soon as I saw the bottle of Bailey’s ;)
Oh my this is my favorite so far! I’ve seen so many Bailey’s or Guiness chocolate recipes lately but yours is a STAND-OUT! Wow! ♥- Katrina
Thank you!
Orgasmic! I totally forgot st. patties was even coming up! One of my favorite holidays!
These look so good! I have some Bailey’s in the cabinet….hmmmm…
Just logged this link because I want to make these on Friday!
Let me know if you like them!
Any recipe that starts with double fudge and is quickly followed by cream is a bookmarked favorite right away ;)
I might want to dip these in Guinness.
I might love you more for that.
re-diculous!!!!!!! these look amazing!!!
OMG, those bad boys look incredibly delicious!
Too bad my oven is too small for cookie baking. WAIT: I will bake them one at a time if I have to :)
What?! I’ve never heard of such a thing. I bet you could find a small cookie sheet.
Its because I only have a tiny combi-oven (microwave + regular function in 1). So muffins and cookies are out of the picture. I have to stick with good ol’ pan/tray cakes until I get a HUGE kitchen. Some day :)
Yikes!
You might be the most awesome person ever!!
Baileys, coffee and cookie dunking. That’s my kinda St. Patty’s Day celebration!
mmmmm those do look fabulous, thanks for the idea! :)
Not Irish, but I am a double-fudge-lover. I think I’ll celebrate. :-)
Sounds fair. :)
