Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Directions

  1. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in vanilla and egg yolk until combined, then beat in egg; beat until smooth. Pour in Irish cream, and beat until incorporated.

  2. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir into butter mixture until evenly mixed. Form into a flattened ball, wrap well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured work surface. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters and place onto prepared baking sheets.

  5. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown around the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on a wire rack until they reach room temperature.
