In their quest to achieve this drink's signature demarcation between stout and ale, some beer fanatics invest in a special Black and Tan spoon that can hook over the side of the glass. An inexpensive spoon bent at a 90-degree angle will work just as well.

We are happy to announce that Jeanne Brophy has won our December 2005 "Cook the Cover" contest with her delicious variation on our [Mini Black-and-White Cookies](/recipes/food/views/233293) . Jeanne Brophy explains her variation: My variation is in the frosting. I'm not super crazy about the traditional approach. So thinking that this cookie is really a petite cake in disguise I developed a chocolate (Black) and peanut butter (Tan) buttercream frosting. Dee-licious!

Yield Makes about 5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup half and half
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa such as Periginotti
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup half and half
a small offset spatula

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a cup. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, then add egg, beating until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, and mixing just until smooth.
  • Drop rounded teaspoons of batter 1 inch apart onto baking sheets. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are puffed, edges are pale golden, and cookies spring back when touched, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Mix peanut butter and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
  • Mix cocoa and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
  • With offset spatula, spread peanut butter frosting over half of flat side of each cookie. Starting with cookies you iced first, spread chocolate frosting over other half.

Tips:

  • Use chilled ingredients: This will help to create a smooth and creamy Black and Tan.
  • Choose a light-bodied beer: This will allow the flavors of the stout to shine through.
  • Pour the stout carefully: Slowly pour the stout down the side of the glass to create a layered effect.
  • Top with the lager: Gently pour the lager on top of the stout to create a foamy head.
  • Serve immediately: Black and Tans are best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

The Black and Tan is a classic beer cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. With its combination of light and dark beer, it is a perfect drink for any occasion. Whether you are enjoying a night out with friends or just relaxing at home, a Black and Tan is sure to hit the spot.
