Beer Bread/Beer Cookies

I’ve got an awesome recipe for beer cookies (that I know is fantastic) if anybody is interested.

I also have a recipe for beer bread (which I haven’t yet made, but the woman who gave it to me swears it’s great), for those who are interested.

They are both simple, easy to make recipes that use our favorite ingredient: BEER!

Just go ahead and post them!

I know! I actually picked that up from the Deschutes facebook page. and modified it a tiny bit. they’re absolutely delicious. you gotta try it with Deschutes Black Butte Porter. and even Breckenridge Vanilla Porter works well.
