Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Spent Grain Cookies

While I usually bring you a vegetarian recipe on Tuesdays from the previous evening’s Meatless Monday meal, our dinner last night was anything but meatless (check back on Saturday for that recipe).  Instead, you’re getting another spent grain recipe.  I’ve been cooking with enough of it as of late that I think my kitchen is starting to develop a gluten intolerance.  At the request of the family, I made a couple more spent grain pizzas for Easter dinner.
Goat cheese, fig spread, rosemary and soppressata

I also made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with spent grain.  They’re pretty good.  You definitely notice the grains in these, but I think the recipe could use more butter… or sugar… or maybe both.   Personally, I much prefer the raw dough.  I could eat it with a giant spoon.

Really, let’s take a closer look at this dough.

  3. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients; fold in chips.
  4. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 425F for 8-10 minutes until the tops are just getting golden, but before the bottoms burn.
