📝 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- Mix dry ingredients:

- Cream the butter and sugars:
- In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth.
- Add eggs and Baileys:

- Fold in the chocolate chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
2. Chill the Dough:
