Peanut Butter Stout Cookies

By using powdered peanut butter rather than regular peanut butter, you really infuse the flavor of the stout into the cookies. The finished product is not overly sweet, but rather rich and robust in flavor.

 

Serving Advice:

Leave opened beer out overnight to allow it to decarbonate and warm to room temperature 

Ingredients

 
1 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter

1/4 cup white sugar

2/3 cup brown sugar

6 Tbsp flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup Stout (decarbonated and room temperature)

2 eggs
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Lightly mix the flour and baking soda and in a bowl and set aside.

Mix powdered peanut butter and sugars in large bowl.
Beat eggs and stout together in a separate bowl and add to peanut butter/sugar mixture.

Cover bowl and set in fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Roll into small balls and place on non-stick cookie sheet.

Use the back of a spoon to make a small well in the center of each of the stout cookies.
