Chocolate Chip Stout Cookies

August 4th is #NationalChocolateChipCookieDay and we are excited to be celebrating with these delicious chocolate chip stout cookies! These cookies have a little bit of beer baked into the cookie dough. And, after they were all done we dipped them into a chocolate stout frosting. YUM! This twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie is subtle but amazing. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

The Beer

We explored the supermarket for a stout beer. Initially, we thought we were going to use a regular chocolate stout but after browsing for a couple of minutes we stumbled upon Mother Earth Brewing Co‘s Sin Tax. We were definitely excited to see this San Diego beer in Atlanta, GA! This peanut butter stout is so rich we knew it would contrast the sweetness of the cookie and the chocolate perfectly. As an added bonus, this beer also pairs extremely nicely with the cookies!
