Champagne & Cookies For This Mom

This Foodie Friday, we are talking about two of my favorite things ~ champagne and cookies! Please excuse the self indulgence, but I know a few other mammas out there that love this dreamy duo, namely Mollie.  By the way, you can buy the chic cookie above at Etsy. And of course, the illustration is done by my friend,  Tiffany LaBelle. So cheers to the Moms of the world, especially those missing their children, including myself.


Champagne Lemonade
I am a straight up kind of champagne lover, but there are some very interesting champagne cocktail recipes around. This is one.

Lemon Cool Whip Cookies
Isn't this a plate of prettiness? And if you can believe, they are made with a cake mix. Best yet, you can change up the flavors, with a different cake mix. Fun! 

Lemon Bar Cookies
Try this recipe to serve with the Champagne Lemonade. "The zingy tartness of lemon pairs perfectly with the richness of cream cheese and powdered sugar to make a delightful 
cookie recipe."

Aperol Spritz Recipe
A good friend of mine, Maryclare, is a fan of this very sophisticated cocktail. It's also very European. Keep it cold with champagne ice cubes.

Melt In Your Mouth Italian Iced Orange Cookies
The trick to this "melt in your mouth" recipe is extra flour, just the right amount of sugar, and real butter. But that's a given in my book.

Raspberry Lemon Snickerdoodle Cookies
Sharing Hummingbird High's wonderful recipe that I found on the WS blog.

Strawberry Champagne Popsicles
Yes, I would just love to lick my champagne! The author says that they are easy to make, and go fast.

Soft and Chewy Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
You won't miss regular flour in these ooey gooey cookies. They are finished with a sprinkling of flaky salt, 
just like I do. 

Black Velvet
What a sexy cocktail served in a wonderful champagne coupe! It also is the most unusual champagne cocktail I have ever seen. Click the link to see the unique ingredients.

Robin’s Egg Macarons
Gluten Free
The perfect Spring Cookie for everyone, including the chocolate lover like me.

Sparkling Lavender Cocktail
So easy to make.  It's made with Prosecco, lemon and lavender syrup. Simple but impressive.

Candied Pansy & Viola Miniature Pavlovas
Made with organic pansies, these are almost too pretty to eat.

Nathan Turner’s Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail
This recipe had me at Pomegranate. Nathan states: "“The bright seeds pop against the pale champagne and just make it feel special. You 
can also do a nonalcoholic version with 
sparkling water.”

Strawberry Coconut Macaroons
Pretty in pink. Said to be soft and chewy on the inside and a little crispy around the edges. A cookie with all of the "feels."

Raspberry Kir Royale
A Kir Royale is a French cocktail that is actually a variation on Kir. I love the fruity liqueur topped with champagne, but would rather have the champagne topped with Kir! The pink sugar rim adds the fun.
