Terrapin Moo Hoo Chocolate Milk Stout Oatmeal Cookies

I was telling a fellow blogger about some of my beer cookies today and realized, I did not have any posted on my blog. I copied this from my old blog, and now I may have to make a new batch. :)


What will I make with beer today... cookies Duh!!

This beer, by Terrapin, is a Chocolate Milk Stout. Perfect for cookies.

Cookies meet beer

Adding dry ingredients to wet.

Stout Oatmeal Cookies

• 6oz stout beer (use something with chocolate, nuts, oatmeal ect.)
• 3/4 cup shortening or butter (I used half butter and half shortening because that is all I had)
• 1 cups brown sugar
• 1\2 cups sugar
• 1 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1cup AP flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 cups oats
• Beer Glaze (see recipe)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. In sauce pan, reduce beer over low heat by half. You will have 3 oz beer when finished. Cool to room temperature before adding to mixture. Stir often because it can burn.
3. Mix shortening, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and beer.
4. In a different bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda together. Add in batches to wet ingredients. 
5. Finally mix in oats. 
6. Measure out 1 tablespoon of batter and place on lined cookie sheet. 
7. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. (I like my cookies gooey so I cooked them for 10-12 minutes. Huck likes his crispy 12-15 minutes.)            
• Makes 52 servings.

Beer Glaze

• 1/2 Cup Reduced beer
• Powdered sugar

Mix cooled beer into powdered sugar a teaspoon at a time until you get the consistency and flavor desired.
