With this recipe I’m going to start my collaboration with Cantina della Birra, an online beer shop packed with great beers, from classic Pils to strong Porters.
As you may have learned following my blog I’m a beer lover; I’m always in when it comes to try new brews and I’m so lucky as I can do it through Cantina della Birra.
This recipe looks at Christmas, how many want to make homemade presents for friends and colleagues every year?
With those cookies you can both please sweet cravers and beer fans at once, they are easy, can be stored for over a week, they taste of Christmas as the beer used, an Export Porter 1750 from Dutch brewery Kees has a strong flavour of coffee and cocoa and dark malt and I accentuated those flavours with cinnamon.
This recipe in Italian is an exclusive for Cantina della Birra but they let me put the English version here on blog so be thankful and go to bake!
