Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Sauce:
Not much beats warm, home baked oatmeal cookies straight out of the oven, that is, except for warm home baked oatmeal cookies with a side of chocolate! These cookies were made with a blend of steel cut oats and rolled oats for maximum oatmeal flavor. For a great way to recycle all those unwanted leftover hollow chocolate Easter bunny candies, a painless decapitation breathes new life onto the confection by transforming it into a chocolate pint glass; the perfect chalice to savor the 10th anniversary version (2014 vintage) of Terrapin Beer Company’s “Wake-N-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout”; an oatmeal imperial stout with coffee roasted by Jittery Joe’s Coffee. The dark, roast-y, coffee flavor in the oatmeal stout meshed wonderfully with the dark chocolate’s similar roasted flavor, elevating this beer and dessert pairing to a higher level.
