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!
