The Perfect Cookie and Drink Pairings
Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply treating yourself, these pairings will take your cookie game to the next level. Let’s dig in!
Classic Cookie Pairings
Some flavor combinations are timeless, and pairing classic cookies with the perfect drink can turn a simple treat into a moment of bliss. Here are some tried-and-true pairings that never go out of style, featuring both nonalcoholic and alcoholic options.
Chocolate Chunk Cookies
The ultimate sweet comfort food pairs perfectly with a cold glass of milk. For a non-dairy option, try creamy oat milk, which complements the cookie’s sweetness without overpowering it. If you’re looking for an alcoholic drink, try a chocolate stout to enhance the deep cocoa notes.
Classic Sugar Cookies and Celebration Cookies
These buttery, delicate cookies pair beautifully with a fizzy glass of lemonade or sparkling water with a splash of lime for a refreshing contrast. These cookies are also a great choice for New Year’s Eve celebrations pairing wonderfully with a glass of champagne or prosecco. Alternatively, a lemon drop martini makes for a bright, citrusy match.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Our decadent Double Chocolate Chip cookies are a chocolate lover’s dream—rich, fudgy, and loaded with flavor. To enhance the experience, we recommend pairing with dark roast coffee or an iced almond mocha! For the adults, consider full-bodied red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, enhances the bold chocolate flavors with its dark fruit and cocoa undertones. Or create a creamy treat combining cookies with a glass of Baileys Irish Cream on ice!
Gourmet and Creative Pairings
These combinations bring out unexpected flavors and textures, making each bite and sip feel like a culinary adventure.
Snickerdoodles
Sweet and spiced with a signature cinnamon-sugar coating, Snickerdoodles are a timeless treat that pairs beautifully with warm and cozy drinks! Mexican Hot Chocolate, Apple Cider, and Vanilla Chai Latte are all excellent choices. Alternatively, enjoy these cookies with a Spiced Rum Toddy or an Amaretto Coffee!
Chai Cookie Bars with a Spiced Icing - Inspired by the Taylor Swift Recipe
With their aromatic spices and sweet icing, these cookie bars are indulgent. Marsala Chai Tea and Honey Lemon Tea enhance the warm spices in the cookie bars. Or, on a chilly evening, pair these cookie bars with Mulled Wine or a White Russian!
Peppermint Cookies
What helps bring out the cool minty flavor of Peppermint Cookie Mashups or Peppermint Double Chocolate Chip cookies? A rich hot chocolate is a great choice - or in warmer weather, grab a Vanilla Bean Milkshake! Adults can indulge in a White Chocolate Peppermint Martini or Mint Julep to increase the cool refreshing taste.
Pumpkin Cookies
Soft, spiced, and full of fall flavors, pumpkin cookies are a cozy treat that pair beautifully with Chai Lattes, Ginger Tea, and Apple Cider. For an alcoholic pairing, try a Maple Bourbon Smash to bring out the cookie’s warm spices!
Savor the Perfect Pairing
The perfect pairing can transform a simple cookie into an unforgettable treat. Whether you’re sipping on a cozy chai latte with spiced cookie bars or indulging in a decadent espresso martini alongside double chocolate chip cookies, there’s a combination for every mood and occasion.
