- 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.

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.

Steps
Spread the flour out on a cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave the flour at 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the flour to a temperature of 160°F so it's safe to use.
In a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Scrape down the sides and slowly beat in the vanilla extract and Irish cream.
Scrape down the sides again and add the flour and salt and mix until combined.
Fold in the mini and white chocolate chips. Add holiday sprinkles, if desired.
Eat immediately or store in the fridge in an air-tight container up to three days.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 3 cups and each portion is 1/4 cup. This is the serving size the nutritional information is based on.
- This recipe has a nice hint of Irish cream and is a perfect scoopable texture. Feel free to add an extra ounce or two of Irish cream but note that the dough with be softer.
- I like to use a mix of white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips but you could just use one or the other.
- Irish Cream coffee creamer could be substituted for the liquor if you want to make this non-alcoholic.
