  • Combine eggs and sugar till combined.
  • Add stout, vanilla and choc/butter mixture.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
  • Add dry to wet 1/3 at a time – when done – refrigerate for 10-20 minutes to help stiffen the dough.
  • Generously flour your work surface, your hands, cutter and rolling pin.
  • gently roll out dough to 1/2″ thickness.

  • do not overcrowd or overcook – maybe hard to tell since they are dark.
  • Optional Glaze
