    Irish Cream Shortbread Cookies

    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.

    Irish Cream Shortbread Cookies

    These wonderful cookies have a consistency to similar scones (check out my Pumpkin Ginger Scones and Blueberry Scones recipes). 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!

    Irish Cream Shortbread Cookies

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

    Still got some Irish Cream on-hand? You really need to try my Baileys Irish Cream Brownies. They are one of our favorite brownie recipes.

    🥃 Alcohol Warning

    Please take into consideration that some of the alcohol in this recipe may not completely burn off and the remains could be of significant concern to recovering alcoholics, parents, and others who have ethical or religious reasons for avoiding alcohol.
