I had some time on my hands and wanted to treat my friends at Lucid Brewing with some treats so I dug out the supplies and went to work. Sweet Brew Creations™ never knows how things will taste or turnout when I tweaked a recipe, but I can honestly say I ate a #bakersdozen while making these and enjoyed some of the dough too! Recipe will follow
It’s all in the fun to experiment! Delete this and add that….
Even after baking the first batch, they spread thin, but were delicious. I added more oatmeal and a bit of spent grain flour and a pinch more baking soda, but I believe it was the oatmeal and flour that made it better as it was too wet and the butter was making it spread thin, but again they tasted awesome!
Best way to eat #spentgrain #cookie is with some #homebrew. I finally filled the CO2 tank and now I can enjoy “aged” O.P.A. Orgasmic (organic) Pumpkin Pale Ale even in March. Cheers!
Recipe was found via blog cheflisa and she tweeked it from JoyofBaking.com. I tweaked it more and used organic ingredients for the majority.
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1tsp vanilla extract
1 cup spent grain flour (took dried spent grains and used Vitamix to grind to flour)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
1/3 cup protein powder (I used whey protein)
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat over to 350 degrees F, cream butter, sugar until creamy and smooth, add egg and vanilla and beat to combine.
Mix together spent grain flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, add to egg/sugar mixture and combine. Stir in oatmeal and chocolate chip…can add nuts, cranberries, raisins too
I used a Pampered Chef seasoned stone to bake for 10-12 minutes, cool on stone for 5 minutes before transferring to a baking rack.
