Holiday Cookies and Cocktails

Holiday Cookies & Cocktails
From the Estate Memoirs · December

Our cookies give new meaning to “tree trimming”, and they sparkle beautifully with high-end sugar sprinkles. These cookies are perfect when you’re looking for just a little something to nibble on, as Doreen would say.

These ginger and sugar cookies are perfect to stack, pack, and safely share with all your neighbors. Once you make these lovelies, just about any candy or specialty chips work seamlessly in a batch! But you can't have cookies without a festive drink.

Pair those perfect cookies with a spiked hot chocolate, a frosty vodka martini, or a big red wine like a spicy zin. I even came up with a holiday punch idea for my next party: a coconut margarita punch that had me saying Mele Kalikimaka!

However, if you're looking to branch out slightly from the norm, Moscow Mules aren't just for summertime! Make a giant batch for the party and try garnishing with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for a spectacular holiday twist. Enjoy the season with those around you!
