Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
For the Baileys Glaze (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 tablespoon milk (if needed for consistency)
Method of Preparation:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and Baileys Irish Cream, mixing until smooth.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake!
Make the Baileys Glaze (Optional): While the brownies cool, whisk together powdered sugar and Baileys Irish Cream until a smooth glaze forms. Add milk if needed for consistency. Drizzle over the cooled brownies.
Slice & Serve: Once cooled, slice into squares, drizzle with glaze, and enjoy the rich, boozy flavors!
