Beer
I think that this recipe is pretty self explanatory when it comes to beer pairings, but indulge me if you will. If it were me, the maliter the brew the better. This is not the time to pull out your hoppiest IPA. A porter or robust stout would be my picks for this recipe. A porter might be the slightly better choice as it isn’t as robust as your average stout, therefore, it won’t overpower the cookie. No one wants a beer that is going to overpower a cookie. You might even consider going with a chocolate or vanilla porter. A chocolate or vanilla porter will really enhance the flavor of this cookie. It shouldn’t be a cloyingly sweet porter because that too will take away from the flavor of the cookie. The slight bitterness will really counteract the sweetness from the cookie.
PSA: Don’t worry. I am not drinking beer during this pregnancy. :) My tried and true taste tester, Zach, has been willing to step up to the challenge.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp rolled oats
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and have two oven-safe bowls or cups ready. Be sure your vessel is at least 8 ounces in size. NOTE: Pottery works great for this recipe and is what I used.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugars and butter until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Add the flour, oats, salt, and baking soda. Stir together until no dry ingredients remain. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter among the two bowls or cups. Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes or until the cookies are done to your liking. Personally, I like mine a bit under-baked. :)
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating. Top with ice cream!
