It is that time of the year – beer, the color green and yummy Irish eats! This year, I decided to step away from the traditional Irish meals and focus on a fun dessert to share with family and friends using a favorite Irish stout – Guinness.

What is your favorite St. Patrick’s Day dessert to enjoy?
This is a very interesting recipe. I have never made snickerdoodles but this is probably terrific.
I need to get some guiness for St Patrick's Day and I will have to save an extra can just for this recipe.
Oh boy. Beer cookies? My husband would be over the moon at the very thought of these. Might have to try!
Snickerdoodles are my girls favorites, but I'm not ready to give them beer versions. Maybe when they're a little bit older!
Our favorite St. Patrick's Day dessert has to be mint chocolate fudge brownies. Yum!
I have never had a cookie with Guinness, but it sure does sound delicious. Snickerdoodles are a family favorite here.
I usually love my Irish coffee or anything with Bailey's or Irish whiskey but that's on hold until June for me. These cookies sound delightful, I know I have quite a few friends that would love them!
