Hair of the Dog Beer Cookies

I’m moving this one over from the B&V because people ask for it all the time and the recipe is no longer on the brewery’s website. Here’s Alan’s original recipe for beer cookies from the 20th Great American Beer Festival (GABF).

Hair of the Dog Beer Cookies

2 cups flour
2/3 cup light DME
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sea salt
3 tsp finely chopped whole hops
8 ozs unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 ozs British crystal malt (crushed)

Directions:

Whip butter in a mixer @ high speed until light in color, add sugar & cream together. Add eggs one at a time, making sure that they are well incorporated. Mix dry ingredients together and fold into butter/egg mixture. Pipe cookies onto parchment paper using a pastry bag with a medium straight tip. Sprinkle crushed crystal malt over cookies before baking. Bake @ 350F degrees for @ 15 minutes. Yield 50 cookies.
