Irish Cream Shortbread Cookies

These Irish Cream Shortbread Cookies are a delightful soft cookie with just a hint of Irish Cream. They have a scone like consistency

My mom loves Irish Cream. So naturally, she had a great cookie recipe that calls for Irish Cream so here is Mom's Irish Cream Shortbread Cookies.

These wonderful cookies have a consistency to similar scones (check out my scone recipes here). If you've never had scones before, these delicious cookies are like a shortbread cookie.

I am a little disappointed that I don't have more pictures of these delicious cookies. They were so good that they were gone before I knew it. I guess I will just have to make them again!

Ever wonder where Irish Cream comes from? Well I did so I found this interesting article on Wiki.
