Let me start by telling you I hate beer. Like HATE. BEER. OF. ALL. KINDS. But this recipe was intriguing and I had to give it a try! The results? ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! I had made a delicious Guinness cake recently and had some leftover Guinness beer. I found this recipe and gave it a try. Am I ever glad I did! You reduce the beer with brown sugar making almost a syrup packed with yumminess. Added to a very chocolatey cookie dough and loaded with milk and dark chips, I knew this had to be good!
