- Scoop and Bake: Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop or a spoon, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are soft.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 8. Make the Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and Bailey’s Irish Cream until smooth and pourable.
