Irish Cream Kissed Chocolate Cookies taste of dark chocolate cookie with a hint of Irish Cream liqueur. Both cookie and frosting have a “touch of the Irish”! 😉
Welcome everyone! It’s time again to #FillTheCookieJar!
Every month our #FillTheCookieJar cookie loving group meets to share our best cookies and bars to fit the theme. This month we will be sharing cookies that are St. Patrick’s Day, Easter or spring inspired!
I admit I get a bit sentimental around St Patrick’s Day. My close friend, James is a Pipe Major with his own bagpipe band. I love to hear the bagpipes. Going to Ireland and Scotland would be a dream come true!
I wanted to make a cookie using a popular Irish libation and or St. Patrick’s Day favorite celebration drink. I already make cakes and brownies with Guinness. Irish Whiskey found it’s way into sauces, marinades and pastries.
I still wanted to keep with the theme. Today’s cookies are inspired by the Emerald Isle. I originally was going to call these cookies, Chocolaty Blarney Stones. I like the sound of Irish Cream Kissed Chocolate Cookies better! Don’t you agree?
