With St. Patrick’s Day coming up I have been doing some cooking with Irish booze.  Last weekend I made these delicious Guinness Chocolate Chip Cookies!

The booze in these cookies is cooked for about 15 minutes with sugar to make a thick Guinness syrup, which adds just a hit of richness and flavor to the cookies.  If you don’t know what the secret ingredient is you would never guess that is is Guinness.

I used a combination of white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey taste.  My husband and kids loved these cookies.  They are a perfect treat for St. Patrick’s Day, and make a nice twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies.

And if you are looking for more ideas for cooking with Guinness try these Guinness brownies or Guinness bread! Guinness adds a burst of flavor to a bunch of tasty recipes.

    Recipe sounds amazing <3

    What is "a bottle" Guinness"? In Germany we have 330ml bootles (approx.11oz) and 500ml bottles (approx.17oz). Which one should I take?

    Thanks a million for your help:-)

    • In the US a standard bottle of Guinness is 12 ounces, so go with the 330ml bottle. I’ll edit the recipe card to have the ounces, thanks!
