I absolutely love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and found some Bailey’s flavored chocolate chips at the store. So my next Irish inspired post for the month of March are these Irish Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! Soft, chewy, and loaded with oats and Irish Liquor flavor.

These Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Chips are non-alcoholic, though so these Irish Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are great for the whole family. Perfect for all of your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations or all year long for a tasty treat. If you don’t have the Bailey’s baking chips or can’t find them, regular chocolate chips would be great, too!

What is Bailey’s Irish Cream Liquor?

What is so great about Bailey’s Irish Cream Liquor? Well it is said that back in the day they were looking to create a drink that was smooth that was made of Irish Whiskey and cream. So Bailey’s itself has hints of cocoa, cream, and Irish whiskey. Most people enjoy it on ice, in coffee, or with other coffee liquors to make a nice after dinner drink. I personally like to bake with it like in my Irish Chocolate Cheesecake or my Irish Chocolate Stout Cake.

I found these Bailey’s Chips at a local grocery store but they also have them on Amazon, too. When I saw them I knew I had to buy them. Even if you can’t use Bailey’s Chips, you can still consider these Irish Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies “Irish” because Irish people love their oats because they are a massive crop in Ireland.

How to make these Irish Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Start with a large mixing bowl and add the butter and sugars.

With a mixer, cream together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs in one at a time and the vanilla and continue to mix. Then add in the old fashioned oats, flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix all of these dry ingredients until the dough forms.

Next add in the Bailey’s Chocolate Chips and fold them in with a spatula or wooden spoon. Chill the dough for about 10 minutes while you get your pans out.

When ready to bake, roll the dough into 2 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 12-14 minutes until lightly browned on the edges.
