Pinterest strikes again, I couldn’t resist trying this recipe. AND it happens to be the winner of the best cookie ever ( and I’m never allowed to make any other cookies, which would only pale in comparison), as proclaimed by Jason. This decadent treat is the perfect texture- soft inside with gooey chocolate chips and a slight crisp outer edge. They have a very rich chocolate flavor, intensified by the unique Guinness addition. I used a small ice cream scoop to make about 45 perfect cookies. If you are making these, and don’t have self control, make them for a party/ work/ friends because you won’t be able to stop eating them… until they are all gone, which would be sad. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour in ours but if you don’t have it, just use 2 cups AP flour. I like to add whole grain where you can, and in these cookies there is NO way anyone would think there was anything like that in there 🙂
