Hey, Reader!

St. Nick is not the only one who loves cookies! Whether it's gingerbread, sugar or some other tasty recipe, cookies are the perfect thing to enjoy throughout the holiday season.

Filled with cozy, sweet flavors these cookie-themed sippers are a delicious dessert you can drink! They'd be perfect for a cookie exchange, holiday happy hour or even Christmas dinner (don't forget to make an extra one for Santa!)

gingerbread old-fashioned

Perfect for the holiday season, this gingerbread old-fashioned brings together traditional elements of a classic old-fashioned cocktail with a gingerbread syrup that’s easy to make at home in just a few minutes. Whether you’re cozying up by the fire or hosting a holiday party, this drink adds a festive touch to any occasion.

sugar cookie martini

If you’re doing anything festive this season, you will need a festive cocktail to match. This sugar cookie martini is a creamy Christmas cocktail that has “festive” written all over it. With a combination of cream, Baileys, vanilla vodka, vanilla extract and amaretto — and an icing-and-sprinkles rim — this cocktail tastes like a sugar cookie in liquid form.

stroopwafel s'mores old-fashioned

This Stroopwafel s'mores old-fashioned is an amazing smoky and sweet cocktail! Infused mezcal and aged rum with Stroopwafel cookies and marshmallows make for a delightful and rich treat. The smokiness of the mezcal brings in the flavor of traditional s'mores!

slow cooker hot chocolate

This is hands down the best slow cooker hot chocolate recipe you will ever try. The creamy and rich chocolate drink comes together easily in the crockpot. It’s just like what you would find on the Polar Express and the perfect thing to dunk cookies in!

I can't wait to hear which one of these recipes brings a touch of sweetness to your season! Cheers!
