So I was looking at the spent grains one of the times I had them and decided to make cookies with them. I will pass on the recipe and tips to those of you out there.
2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup spent beer grain
2 (ish) cups flour (add slowly and adjust if need be, you may want about 1/2 to 3/4 more)
Start by putting the grains through a food processor to get the hulls smaller, otherwise they might get stuck in your teeth (my kids did not like that part)
Soften the butter and mix in the sugar. Next mix in the grains, then add the flour until it becomes slightly sticky. Scoop this out with a spoon onto a cookie sheet making small lumps and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Leave them on the sheet for another 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Enjoy.
Just to let you all know you can put spent grains in just about anything. Use them in bread to add flavor (substitute 1 cup grain for 1/2 cup liquid and 1/2 cup flour). Cakes (banana and zucchini "bread" come to mind) and to add body to soups.
