Bourbon Barrel Stout Sugar Cookies with Bourbon Barrel Smoked Sugar is an update to a traditional sugar cookie recipe for a unique and tasty adult treat!

 

Oops I did it again.

Bourbon Barrel Stout Sugar Cookies with Bourbon Barrel Smoked Sugar is an update to a traditional sugar cookie recipe for a unique and tasty adult treat!

I went a little crazy with the Anderson Valley Brewing Company’s Bourbon Barrel Stout.  I just couldn’t help myself.  Then I happened to find some Bourbon Barrel Smoked Sugar when I stopped into the Savory Spice Shop to pick up a gift card.  Talk about living right.  I decided that the delicious Bourbon Barrel Stout and the Bourbon Barrel Smoked Sugar needed to get together and make a Christmas miracle.  Then the sugar cookies with the longest title ever came to be.

If you’re looking for a traditional cookie made for adults, then this is for you.  And don’t stress if you don’t live near the Savory Spice Shop and can’t get some of this magical sugar.  You can order it online or just leave it out and use some good old fashioned granulated sugar.

If you see some of this beer snatch it up.  If you happen to find a bottle of their Salted Caramel Porter, I drank the last of mine before I could make a recipe with it – it happens sometimes.  So if you could send some my way I’d consider it my own personal Christmas miracle!

Happy Holidays!

Bourbon Barrel Stout Sugar Cookies with Bourbon Barrel Smoked Sugar

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 sticks butter softened, but not melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon barrel aged stout
  • flour or powdered sugar for rolling dough
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons bourbon barrel smoked sugar

Instructions

  1. Sift flour, baking powder, salt together
  2. Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium low until well mixed and light in color
  3. Add egg, vanilla, and beer and mix on low until combined
  4. Add flour a little bit at a time and beat until incorporated
  5. Separate dough into two balls, wrap in plastic, and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight
  6. Preheat oven to 375
  7. Roll dough out on a lightly floured or powdered sugared counter and cut into desired shapes
  8. Transfer shapes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper spacing them about an inch apart
  9. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until edges turn a golden brown
  10. Sprinkle bourbon barrel smoked sugar over the tops while still hot from the oven
  11. Cool a couple of minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

NOTES:

  1. If you don’t have access to the Bourbon Barrel Smoked Sugar, just skip it or use granulated sugar.
  2. I recommend rotating the pan halfway through the baking process
  3. I have chilled this dough overnight, 1-2 hours, and when I didn’t feel like waiting I stuck it in the freezer for about 45 minutes and they all worked.  The colder (but not frozen) the better.
  4. This will make 24 to 30 cookies depending what size and shape you use to cut them

White Hot Chocolate with Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows

December 16, 2016 by rachelle 15 Comments

White Hot Chocolate with Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows is an adult version of a classic winter warmer made with white chocolate and beer marshmallows.

 

Who wants to faceplant into some White Hot Chocolate and Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows?

White Hot Chocolate with Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows is an adult version of a classic winter warmer made with white chocolate and beer marshmallows.

As a former Assistant Public Defender, I’m always rooting for the underdog.  The forgotten and left behind.  I rooted for the Sweet Potato and the Sweet Potato Ale and now I advocate for the white chocolate in which to drown your bourbon barrel stout marshmallows.

The winter and holiday season has everyone making some hot chocolate or mocha coffee to warm up with while sitting by the fire in your cozy fuzzy slippers.  I’m here to tell you to put that down right now and turn your attention to some White Hot Chocolate.

Starbucks has nothing on this.

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the White Hot Chocolate

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions

For the Marshmallows

  1. Combine 1/2 cup beer and gelatin in the bowl of a stand mixer and set aside
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup beer in a small sauce pan
  3. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves
  4. Increase heat until liquid boils, either heat until temp reaches 240 or boil for two minutes, remove from heat
  5. Lock mixer bowl with gelatin and water into the stand mixer, attach whisk, and turn on low
  6. Slowly stream syrup mixture into gelatin with mixer continuing on low
  7. Increase mixer speed to high and continue whipping until fluffy, about 15 minutes
  8. Add vanilla, whisk another 30 seconds or so
  9. Dust a casserole dish with 1/4 cup powdered sugar to coat, transfer marshmallow mix to dish, leave uncovered overnight - either in refrigerator or on counter
  10. Combine remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with the cornstarch and sprinkle it all over a large cutting board
  11. Turn marshmallow square onto the prepared cutting board and cut into desired shapes, turning each piece to coat in the powdered sugar once cut

For the White Hot Chocolate

  1. Combine milk, vanilla, and white chocolate chips in a small sauce pan and heat on low until chocolate is melted, stir to combine and make smooth
  2. Pour hot chocolate into cups, top with marshmallow and whipped cream, if using

 

NOTES:

  1. As always, the recipes using beer are intended for adults only.  Please do not give alcohol to minors.  This recipe in particular does not have all the alcohol cooked out of it, which is a nice showcase of the flavor of this beer, but not appropriate for everyone.
  2. The marshmallows are sticky, but once you coat all sides with powdered sugar they are easier to handle.
  3. This recipe makes two 1 cup servings of White Hot Chocolate and the amount of marshmallows will vary depending how they are cut
