Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 stick butter, softened
2 large eggs
¼ cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped thin creme de menthe chocolate mints plus more for top
Ice Cream for serving, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325˚F.
Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Using an electric stand mixer set at medium speed, beat together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy; about 4 minutes.
Add in the eggs, Irish Cream, and vanilla; continue to mix until well blended.
Set the mixer to Low and gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, about 1 cup at a time; beat until thoroughly combined.
Fold in 1 cup of the chopped chocolate mints.
Transfer the cookie dough to previously prepared skillet and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned and starting to pull away from the pan. I like a gooey-er cookie, so I bake mine for about 32 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes.
Sprinkle the top with more chopped chocolate mints, if you like.
Cut into 8 wedges.
Serve with ice cream.
