New Belgium – Baking Holiday Cookies With Fat Tire (Video)

The holiday season is a fantastic time of the year — family, food, gifts and being lazy on the couch all come to mind. Few things are as synonymous with end-of-the-year festivities as cookies, so Juicebox and Nic The Intern set about baking some … with Fat Tire. Then they made a video. And a song.

Want to bake the Fat Tire cookies yourself? No problem.

What you’ll need:
2 bottles of Fat Tire
Honey
Butter
Egg
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
Orange
Ground coriander
Flour
Baking soda
Also, get some icing

What to do:
Put the beer and five tablespoons of honey into a medium saucepan and put it to a medium (ish) heat. Stir. The point here is to reduce this mixture, it takes a while, but it’s worth it. Reduce this to about 1/3 cup, total volume. Once completed put this in the fridge to cool it. Next, cream a stick and a half of room temperature butter with a cup and a quarter of powdered sugar. Add one egg and blend. Then add the zest of one orange, two teaspoons of ground coriander, a half teaspoon of vanilla, and the Fat Tire/honey reduction. Blend it all together. In a separate bowl mix two cups of flour with a half teaspoon of baking soda. Slowly add this dried mixture to the wet mixture.

The cookie dough looks more like cookie batter, and this is how it should look (at least, I think).
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Spoon spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Make sure to give them space. I did nine at a time. Bake the cookies for a while. It took my oven 12 minutes to get them done. But ovens vary, just keep your eye on the cookies.

Cool the cookies on the tray for a few minutes to maintain shape, then transfer to wire rack.

Once they cool put some icing on them cookies (and make it fancy!).
