These turned out SO good... they're intoxicating!
Ingredients
Yields about 20 whoopie pies
For the cookies:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup Baileys Irish Cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the filling:
12 tbsp (1 and 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 - 2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. Line baking sheet with non-stick baking mat or parchment paper; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine butter and both sugars. Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium/high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add egg and mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Adjust speed to low and gradually mix in half the flour mixture, then the Baileys and vanilla, and finish with the remaining flour mixture.
Drop tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes or until cookies spring back when lightly touched. Place baking sheet on wire rack and let cool 5-10 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheet and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling, combine butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add Baileys and beat until combined. Transfer buttercream to a prepared pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
To assemble, pipe filling on the flat sides of half the cookies then sandwich with remaining cookies.

I'd like one!!! (or ten... haha!) They look AMAZING!! And I'm sure they taste as decadent as they look!
Such a great idea. I can't wait to try this. I might try adding a little Kahlua to mine!
these look wonderful, and only one egg?! I can totally make this eggless (due to my allergy) and am really looking forward to it. i've been craving these since seeing them at Starbucks! cheers.
OMG! I must try these.
Oh these are so cute! I just made homemade Irish cream that would be perfect for this.
I love the way you've piped the filling inside. What a perfect way to celebrate St Patty;s Day!
Look at that filling. You have no idea how much I love Bailey's Irish cream. I adore the stuff. These are perfect!! Beautiful photos!
These are the perfect take on whoopie pies for today! Great job!
Sounds great, I love whoopie pies! Your pictures are beautiful as well.
I have passed on an award to you! Feel free to check it out, pass it on, or ignore it if you have already received one.
SO lovely with the piped filling...love these!
These are adorable - I agree - the piped filling is great!
Beautiful whoopies! I bet they taste just as good as they look
I LOVE Baileys and they look so good. Why are you doing this to us? Pass on a few over here, please!
Wonderful job..lovee how you made them! Nicely done!!!
Beautiful. I love the ruffled look on the filling.
I can just imagine how fantastic these would be. What a great way to celebrate the Irish :)
These look delicious. What is your secret for getting such perfect cake rounds? I saw a pan for making whoopie-pies in Sur Le Table the other day... have you ever used them?
Hi Sandy! So funny you should ask because my friend and I were just talking about whoopie pie pans the other day. :) I have never used them before. This batter is thick enough that it drops perfectly with a mini cookie scoop. You could also try piping them with a pastry bag. Just make sure you pipe them tall and round so they won't flatten too much when baking. Hope that helps!
saw this on pinterest... to die for :)
Ok, not wanting to sound stupid, but can you get drunk on these?
The 1 cup of Bailey's in the dough gets baked, so the alcohol content is greatly reduced. The filling has 1 tablespoon divided among 20 cookies. If you ate all 20 whoopie pies I still don't think you could get even slightly drunk.
