OK, OK, we know what you're thinking...the folks over at Cougar Mountain Baking Company had lots of fun in the testing phase of this variety!  Well, you're right, we did.

The original idea came to us when one of our airline customers was doing an OctoberFest theme for their menus and wanted items related to beer.  We thought, "Oh, we can't do that".  Then we thought again.  While we missed that original deadline, a couple of years and many varieties of stout beer samplings later, we feel we've done this crazy idea some justice.

We wish to thank our friends over at BridgePort Brewing for making their fantastic stout beer and inspiring us to make this cookie what it is.  First and foremost, this is a chocolate cookie, but it's flavor profile is unique, subtle, and complex.  Just like the BLACK STRAP STOUT beer we've used in the recipe, the cookie has hints of coffee, molasses, and creamy stout beer that bring out the best in these cocoa and chocolate chunk cookies.

While the alcohol has baked out of the cookies, and they are perfectly safe for children, we still rate this cookie "MP" for mature palates only.  :)
