Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (unsifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate & Filling

  • 12 ounces chocolate chips (divided)
  • 1/2 ounce Irish cream liqueur
  • 1/2 ounce coffee liqueur

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cookie cups.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl or using a stand mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light in color. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until the dough forms and is well combined.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Slowly fold in all but 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly spray a cookie shot glass baking pan with cooking spray. Fill each cavity halfway with about 2 tablespoons of dough. Insert the center mold into each cavity to form the shot glass shape.
  7. Bake Cookie Shots: Place the baking pan on a cookie sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the cookie cups turn golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Melt Remaining Chocolate: While the cookies cool, melt the reserved 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave at half power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  9. Line Cookie Cups: Using a metal spatula or a knife, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate evenly inside each cookie cup, covering the entire interior surface. This creates a barrier to prevent the liquid from soaking the cookie immediately.
  10. Chill to Set: Place the chocolate-lined cookie shots in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  11. Prepare the Shooters: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine equal parts Irish cream liqueur and coffee liqueur (approximately 1/2 ounce each per shot glass). Shake well to chill and mix the liqueurs.
  12. Serve: Pour the liqueur mixture into each prepared cookie shot glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious edible chocolate chip cookie shots with a boozy filling!

Notes

  • Use cookie shot glass molds to shape the cookie dough into cups; these molds can be found online or specialty baking stores.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to ensure smooth creaming with the sugars.
  • If you don’t have Irish cream or coffee liqueur, you can substitute with any cream-based or coffee-flavored liqueur of your choice.
  • Store baked cookie shots in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate after lining with chocolate for longer storage.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookie cups to maintain softness inside while still holding their shape.
