Easy Cookie and Wine Pairings

I will show you the top cookie choices for the holiday season. This is because these are the cookies that you are most likely to bake and or even eat during the holiday season.

The wines that are paired with the cookies are also among the most popular wine choices.

Many of these wines can be found reasonable priced, which is something that makes me happy. They are also well balanced in taste when it comes to eating them while you are sipping on your wine.

Easy wine pairings for popular Christmas cookies.

1. Gingerbread Cookies- This cookie is known for its molasses and spice taste. The wine that is paired with this cookie should be a more bland tasting wine as you do not want it to take over. A dessert wine can provide a nice balance for this cookie. Try a sherry. Riesling also goes nice with the ginger taste in this cookie.
2. Shortbread Cookies- known for their butter taste along with a bit of sweetness from sugar. It really is the buttery taste that you can enhance with wine. Try a chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc for a great complement in flavors. Champagne is another fun choice as it has bubbles that work well with the buttery taste.
3. Sugar Cookies- this is the cookie that is most likely to be decorated with what else, more sugar. I like a more dry taste of a Prosecco or even a brut wine. The bubbles really help balance out the sugar as well. Riesling is another good choice if you want to enjoy the taste of sugar.
4. Spritz Cookies- these are the cookies that are usually put through a cookie press and shaped into fun shapes such as trees or flowers. They are not cookies known for a huge flavor as they are meant to be displayed nicely. They do make a good presentation on a cookie table. So, for a wine, I would choose a Riesling for its fruity and crisp taste.
5. Snickerdoodles- this is a cookie that is known for its texture and seasonings. Sauvignon Blanc goes nicely with this cookie. Some folks like a more oaked version with this cookie.
6. Butter Cookies- this cookie is a lot like the shortbread cookie when it comes to taste. I will say that often the shortbread will be topped with a bit of sugar however, leading to a sweeter cookie. Again, try a chardonnay as it is a great complement in flavors.
