Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

February 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

As we get closer to March and to St. Patricks’s Day, I thought I would try my hand at making some chocolate chip cookies, but with a little bit of an Irish twist. These cookies here are made with some Irish Cream baked right in. And let me just tell you, they’re so sooo good!

The out edges are browned and have a little crisp to them while the insides are light, moist, and totally fluffy. And there’s just enough Irish Cream in there to get a hint of the flavor without it being over powering. If you love chocolate chip cookies and you love Irish Cream - these Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies will likely be your new favorites…

Giant Chocolate Chip Unicorn Cookies

Immediately after I made my last batch of GIANT cookies, my kid was already asking me to make some more. Of course, I didn’t want to do them exactly the same, so today I decided to go with just colorful sprinkles and a variety of chocolate chips. That’s right, a variety. Big, regular, small. Some dark, some semi-sweet.

The end result was some more amazingly delicious GIANT cookies that had something different in every bite. Some bites were full of chocolate, others of sweet candy sprinkles, and then others were a delicious cookie.

Giant Valentine Cookies

Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a GIANT cookie. these big cookies are about 4-5 regular sized cookies in ONE. BIG. COOKIE. And do you want to know a secret? They’re made with HALF the amount of sugar as the originals. That’s right, I was able to shave off half the sugar by making a couple of simple swaps.

The first swap that I made was subbing in a brown sugar/stevia blend for the regular brown sugar. I also swapped half of the original sugar for a granulated stevia. the important part here is the granulated part. While you could use any other natural sweetener that measures cup for cup like sugar, I prefer the granulated one since it doesn’t have the usual fake sweetener taste…

I have a cookie monster in my house. …And she comes in the shape of a 10 year old girl. It’s amazing how I bought a huge container of chocolate chip cookies from the store this week and magically 3/4ths of the cookies have disappeared in the matter of just a couple of days.

That being said, I’m not about to venture out for another box. So, I thought I would whip up a delicious chocolate chip cookie inspired dessert of some sort. This Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake is the perfect guilt-free way to enjoy chocolate chip cookies any time…

Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookies

If you’re a fan of ice cream then obviously you’ll understand the name of this cookie. I based these sweet little bites off of one of my most favorite ice cream flavors. Chunky Monkey! Just like the name states, these cookies banana based cookies are… well… chunky! How? They’re loaded up with dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

The best part? These cookies are guilt-free enough that they could even work as a breakfast cookie. Seriously. Pair one with some fruit and you have a fun and tasty cookie for breakfast! Even better, they’re vegetarian and egg-free. ..

Lightened-Up Cookie Monster Brookie Cake

As it turns out… I have a cookie monster living in my house and she’s turning 9 years old tomorrow. Though maybe she’s more of a cake monster since she’s somehow managing to get three birthday cakes this year due to a series of fortunate events. Yes, FORTUNATE events.

Every ear for my daughter’s birthday, I make her something special that I can take up to her school at lunch and let her share with her friends. This time around she requested a cookie cake. Which… is what I made last year. And we can’t do the same thing over again. So! I decided to take that cookie cake a step further and make it into a BROOKIE cake. What’s a brookie, you ask? A brownie and a cookie combined together!…
