Time 2h15m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup whiskey
⅓ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons whiskey
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup whiskey and 1/3 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has reduced to 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove whiskey reduction from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix espresso powder and 2 tablespoons whiskey together in a small bowl until espresso powder is dissolved. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set both aside.
  • Cream butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in whiskey reduction, then whiskey-espresso mixture. Add dry ingredients in 3 batches, mixing until just incorporated after each addition. Fold in white chocolate. Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls of dough and place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are just set, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the sheets for 7 to 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Irish Coffee Cookies:

  • Use Freshly Brewed Coffee: The fresher the coffee, the better the flavor of your cookies will be. If you don't have freshly brewed coffee, you can use instant coffee, but it won't be quite as flavorful.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but your cookies may not be as pretty.
  • Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Before you frost or decorate the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

Irish coffee cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other occasion. They're easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways, so you can customize them to your liking. With their rich coffee flavor and creamy frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
