Irish Cream Chocolate Cookies sound and taste like gourmet cookies. Simple cookies that have a deep chocolate flavor and a unique sweetness. So good!
The cookie jar has been empty for eons. Ed has got onto a pretzel kick. They are big long rods and it seems it's his new favorite indulgence.
Hmmm, maybe that's because there aren't any cookies in the house!
I can remedy that and you know I want to come up with something that is different. Chocolate? Yes, of course! No nuts and ummmmm. I'm blank.
So I start opening and closing every cupboard about three times trying to get an idea. Oh, the liquor cabinet! There's my Homemade Kahlua but I use that pretty often so ..... snicker snicker.
I've never put Irish Cream Liquor in any cookies before. Done!

How Do You Make a Chia Egg?
A chia egg is actually made with chia seed meal/flour NOT the bare seed.
The way you make meal/flour is by grinding the chia seed in a processor such as one for your coffee beans or a spice grinder.
I use mine to strictly grind seeds so that I do not mix flavors. Grind until it is a fine meal.
I do about 4 ounces at a time and keep it in a little freezer safe canning jar - in the freezer. When I need a tablespoon or so it is all ready to go.

For two chia eggs:
- Mix 2 tablespoons chia flour and 6 tablespoons water. It will gel almost immediately.
- Cream non-dairy butter, coconut sugar, 'eggs' and vanilla for about 3 minutes.
- Add in the Irish Cream (click here for my recipe for Copycat Baileys's Irish Cream Whiskey) and mix well but lightly.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla and salt and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- You may refrigerate at this point from 4 hours to overnight but it is not necessary.
- Roll into balls and set on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350ºF for 8–10 minutes.
