Chicken and Waffles. Guinness Irish Cream. A Munchies Cookie. Fat And Weird Cookie Company Just Dropped the Football Season Cookie Pack Nobody Knew They Needed.

Fat And Weird Cookie Company | Football Season Tailgate Cookie Pack

Football season has a smell. It is parking lot asphalt and propane grills and something frying somewhere nearby, and it is also whatever everyone brought to put on the tailgate table, and this year that table has the option of including a cookie with chicken biscuit crackers and maple frosting in it.

Fat And Weird Cookie Company dropped their football season pack with the same energy they bring to everything: four flavors that had never existed before, a lineup that goes from salty-sweet-snack territory all the way to Guinness Irish cream, and the honest admission that two of the four are the craziest cookies they have ever made in eight years of making cookies with names like Chocolate Wasted and Witch's Orchard and Spellbound. For a brand that put a caramely fudge core inside a chocolate espresso dough, the bar for craziest ever is not low.

They cleared it with a chicken and waffles cookie and a beer cookie in the same pack. Set hut.

MVC: The Cookie That Knows What Football Tastes Like

The first cookie in the pack is called MVC, and the name tells you the register before you even open the bag.

The base is a brown sugar cookie dough, which is the right foundation for something in the munchies category: brown sugar carries a warmth and depth that plain sugar does not, it pulls the whole cookie in the direction of something that feels more substantial, more snack-adjacent, more like the kind of thing you reach for during the third quarter when your team is down by seven and you need a cookie that understands the situation.

Into that brown sugar dough go chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered potato chips, and little chocolate candy pieces. The pretzel brings the salt. The potato chip brings a different salt, a lighter, thinner crunch that sits differently in the dough than the pretzel does, and the combination of pretzel and chip in a single cookie means the textural variety is doing serious work in every bite. The chocolate candy pieces bring the sweetness that ties the salty elements together rather than competing with them.

And then there is the fudge caramel core, which is the center that makes MVC the kind of cookie you are still thinking about after the game ends. Fudge and caramel together in a core, breaking open inside a brown sugar dough that is already loaded with salty chocolate-covered snacks, is the moment the cookie justifies its name. Salty and sweet and rich and exactly what you want to eat when you watch football. The MVC of the snack table.

Cluck Around: The Chicken and Waffles Cookie That Will Surprise You

The second cookie is the one that most people will see and immediately feel uncertain about, and Fat And Weird Cookie Company anticipated that reaction in the video: if you're scared, don't be.

Cluck Around is a chicken and waffles cookie. The name is accurate. The combination is real. And the cookie is not what fear suggests it would be.

The dough base is maple, not chicken. This is the crucial detail that reframes everything. Cluck Around is not a savory cookie that happens to have something waffle-adjacent in it. It is a maple cookie, deeply sweet and warm in the way that maple is warm, with the specific flavor that makes maple syrup the correct thing to put on a waffle in the first place. The maple frosting core deepens that foundation: more maple, gooier, arriving at the center of the cookie and concentrating the flavor that has been building through the dough.

Into the maple dough go white chocolate chips, which bring a creamy sweetness that plays well with maple without fighting it, and chicken biscuit crackers, which are the element that earns the chicken and waffles name and also the element that provides the savory note Aubrie described: a hint of savory, warmth, the memory of a chicken biscuit existing somewhere in the background of a cookie that is otherwise very much a maple dessert.

The chicken biscuit crackers are not dominant. They are textural and subtly savory and they work in the way that salt works in a caramel: not as the main event but as the thing that makes the main event taste more like itself. The maple flavor is the main event. The crackers are the reason it is called Cluck Around instead of just a very good maple cookie.

If you are scared, do not be. Try it anyway.

Brownie Points: The Cookie That Wins the Debate by Skipping It

The third cookie is called Brownie Points, and it exists to resolve a question that did not need to be a question until this cookie made it interesting.

Is it brownie cheesecake or is it cheesecake brownie? The answer in the video was: either way, this cookie is phenomenal. Which is the correct answer.

The base is a chocolate dough, which is where the brownie side of the equation lives. A chocolate dough base in a Fat And Weird Cookie Company cookie is not a standard chocolate cookie: it carries the dense, fudgy quality that makes a brownie different from a chocolate cake, the richness that comes from a higher ratio of chocolate to other things. Into that chocolate dough go brownie chunks, which add the specific textural element that only a brownie provides: dense, slightly chewy, more substantial than a chocolate chip and more complex than a mix-in that is just sweetness.

The cheesecake side lives in two places. The cheesecake chips are worked into the dough, which means the tangy, creamy quality of cheesecake appears throughout the cookie at intervals rather than being concentrated only at the center. And the core is a cheesecake frosting, which is where the full cheesecake flavor breaks open: cool, tangy, creamy, the flavor that a New York cheesecake has before it becomes something else inside a chocolate dough that is doing its best brownie impression.

Brownie Points wins the debate not by choosing a side but by refusing to. It is a brownie cheesecake. It is a cheesecake brownie. It is phenomenal. The football context is almost beside the point; this cookie belongs at any table.

Tailgate Hour: The Guinness Cookie for Everyone, Including You

The fourth cookie is Tailgate Hour, and it is the one that requires a specific disclaimer from Fat And Weird Cookie Company that they delivered early in the description: even if you are not a beer lover, it is so good. Do not sleep on this one.

The dough base is chocolate malt, which is the flavor direction that makes Tailgate Hour work as a cookie regardless of your feelings about Guinness. Chocolate malt is a flavor that predates beer as a concept in most people's dessert experience: it is the malt in a milkshake, the malt in a malted milk ball, the specific deep roasted sweetness that chocolate and malt create together. The Guinness influence in this cookie is not the beer flavor that hits you when you take a sip. It is the malt character that Guinness shares with other chocolate malt desserts, deepened and made more complex by the Irish cream core.

Into the chocolate malt dough go mini chocolate chips and milk chocolate chunks, which means the chocolate in this cookie appears in three forms: the chocolate malt of the dough, the small and frequent hits of the mini chips, and the larger, slower, chewier presence of the milk chocolate chunks. The milk chocolate chunks specifically bring a creaminess that connects to the Irish cream core rather than contrasting with it.

The Irish cream core is the center of Tailgate Hour, and it is the element that earns the Guinness reference and justifies the beer cookie label without making the cookie taste like you are eating something from a pub tap. Irish cream in a dessert context is creamy, sweet, and complex in a way that has nothing to do with whether you drink alcohol: it is a flavor the same way vanilla and caramel are flavors, and inside a chocolate malt cookie with milk chocolate chunks it reads as the richest, most adult possible version of a chocolate dessert.

Do not sleep on this one. Even if you are not a beer lover. Especially if you are.

Why This Is the Right Pack for Parking Lot Party Season

Fat And Weird Cookie Company called it parking lot party season in the caption and that framing is more useful than just football tailgate. A tailgate is a specific thing: you have to be at a stadium, you have to have a car or truck with the right layout, you need the whole ritual to be in place. A parking lot party is more democratic. It is the friend group that sets up outside the sports bar. It is the people who got there early and decided to eat in the parking lot because it is finally cool enough to be outside and the game does not start for an hour.

And it is also, as the caption acknowledged directly, just eating the cookies by yourself on your couch while the game is on, which is the most common football food experience and does not require a parking lot or a party or any particular social structure. Fat And Weird Cookie Company said they would not judge.

Four flavors that cover every corner of the football snack table: MVC for the person who wants salty and sweet and knows what they are doing, Cluck Around for the person who is willing to try something unexpected and is usually glad they did, Brownie Points for the person who needs a dessert that does not require any context and is just genuinely great, and Tailgate Hour for the person who wants something that feels like a treat beyond the ordinary.

All four of these flavors are new. Fat And Weird Cookie Company has never made a chicken and waffles cookie before. Has never made a Guinness Irish cream cookie before. Has never done munchies with chocolate covered potato chips as a mix-in before. The football season pack is not a repackaging of existing flavors with a football theme applied. It is a completely new expression of what Fat And Weird Cookie Company can do when the brief is parking lot party season.

The brief was good. The cookies are the result.

The Football Season Pack at a Glance

MVC: Brown sugar cookie dough base with chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered potato chips, and chocolate candy pieces, stuffed with a fudge caramel core. Salty, sweet, designed for watching football. The munchies cookie done correctly.

Cluck Around: Maple dough base with white chocolate chips and chicken biscuit crackers, stuffed with a maple frosting core. The warmest maple flavor with a hint of savory. Do not let the name scare you; the cookie is a maple dessert with a savory note, not a savory snack with maple applied to it.

Brownie Points: Chocolate dough base with brownie chunks and cheesecake chips, stuffed with a cheesecake frosting core. The brownie cheesecake cheesecake brownie debate, resolved by being both at the same time.

Tailgate Hour: Chocolate malt dough base with mini chocolate chips and milk chocolate chunks, stuffed with an Irish cream core. The Guinness lover's cookie and also the cookie that non-beer-lovers cannot believe they liked. Do not sleep on this one.

Occasion: Football season, tailgate parties, parking lot parties, home game watch parties, or solo cookie eating with zero judgment from Fat And Weird Cookie Company
