These Baileys Hazelnut Chocolate Shortbread Cookies are holiday perfection. The baileys liquor and vanilla extract give these cookies such a great deep flavor and dipped in chocolate are they just pure deliciousness. I found the recipe a long time ago in a Christmas cookie feature from “bake from scratch” and I always keep old magazines and never throw them away.

How long can these be stored? Must they be refrigerated?

Hello Nancy, thanks for your message. The cookies need to be stored in an air tight container but not necessarily in the fridge. They can be stored up to 2 weeks. Happy Thursday ?
