Can’t help it, I have to sneak in another Guinness recipe before St Patrick’s Day. I am only like 1/8th Irish, but really I just like to put beer in stuff and this feels like a pretty good reason to do so.

Guinness Snickerdoodles

Especially Guinness. That dark, sweet and bitter flavor is so great cooked into soups and savory pies, but in my opinion helps to add the most wonderful dimension to baked goods. Like biscuits, cakes, cookies and brownies.

Guinness Snickerdoodles

I mean, I LOVE snickerdoodles to begin with, but when you Guinness bomb them, they are even better! If you like to get a little dorky on “Holidays” such as St. Patricks Day (um, like me) then I feel like this is a good recipe to bring to friends or co-workers without getting out your food coloring or anything. It’s easy and fast and your only problem will be whether to hoard them all for yourself!
