Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Stout Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Stout Chocolate Chip Cookies-P

I have this theme in my life right now about fear.

Not the kind of fear that keeps you from jumping out of airplanes (which I’ve done), or the fear that comes when you hear a noise in the middle of the night which clearly means a murderer is in your living room.

But a fear that you don’t even realize you have, the you don’t realize is controlling you. Like this video of fear disguised as practicality. Or the fear that keeps you from standing up for yourself. Or the fear that keeps you from going after your dream. Or the fear that keeps you locked in a harmful relationship.

Talk to any sucessful person and you’ll hear a story of failing. A failure that got them closer to the goal, with more information and more drive. Fear is just part of it. Brewers know this. Every brewer will tell you about how much fear there was in the early years.

When it comes to brewing, or dreams, or needs, or relationships, success isn’t about being fearless, it’s about being fear tolerant. Accept that the fear won’t hurt you and move forward in spite of it. Learn to tolerate the feeling of fear and it won’t be able to control you.

Now let’s enjoy the spoils of that success and go drink some great beer.

I love your honesty about fear. A few years ago I was adamantly working on overcoming my fear of failure, and it’s still something that I think about regularly. Now my theme is "exploring the limits of survival", so it seems that I’ve overcome the fear of failure and maybe become less cautious than necessary. Even so, your advice is sound and strikes a chord. Thank you!

I made these cookies as a thankyou for my hair dresser. She LOVED them. I did too. I still had a few left so I passed them along to my favorite guide at the liquor store. He loved them too. Great recipe!

I made these for my daughter’s grade nine School Council election campaign. I made a few dozen and my daughter handed them out to potential constituents. I guess the kids with peanut allergies won’t be voting for her. The cookies were a hit with the art schoolers, garnering comments such as "can I have another one?" and "these are…like….amazing." I’d say the election is in the bag. I used Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. Thanks for a great recipe.
