Foodie Friday: Champagne & Cookies

Cookies and champagne are really all I need this time of year. I mean who has time to prepare a main course right now?  Both bubbles and cookies are celebration worthy, especially when presented together.  So let's pop the cork, and get creative with 14 sweet seasonal recipes.

Pomegranate Champagne Mule

A festive spin on a classic Moscow Mule. This chic cocktail features fresh winter citrus, pomegranate juice, double the ginger, and a good splash of Vodka. 

Half Baked Harvest

Holiday Slice & Bake Cookies

I don't know about you, but these spiral cookies look a little intimidating to me. But Williams Sonoma offers the answer. Simply put the frozen dough in the freezer and slice and bake as needed. Perfect for those of you who do not bake. Also makes a great gift to send across the miles.

Williams Sonoma

Pointsettia Cocktail

Could a cocktail look any more Christmas-sy? It's really just a Cranberry Mimosa. The arils and rosemary sprig add the festive feels.

Basil & Bubbly

Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

Chocolate and Peppermint is a match made in heaven. These will be a major crowd pleaser.

Broma Bakery

Confetti Champagne

These are just too much fun! The festive rim is made with frosting and pop rocks!

Delish

Candy Cane Sugar Cookie Bars- Vegan and Gluten Free

The holidays are tough times for those that are gluten intolerant. But never fear, Heather is here with another tasty treat.

Heather Christo

Sparkling Raspberry Champagne Float

I always love a boozy dessert! This is one classy and chic cocktail. It's a marvelous mix of raspberries, vodka, lime, sherbet, and champagne.

Modern Farmhouse Eats

Sugar Plum Fairy Shortbread Bites

Sometimes all we need is a bite of something sweet. This little cookie will do. It's all about the pretty pink glaze. It's said to be easy to make.

The Cafe Sucre

Grand Champagne Cocktail

This is a Bobby Flay recipe. it features an orange flavored liquer like Grand Marnier, honey, strawberries and champagne. Sounds yummy.

Food Network

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

This recipe had me at sour cream. Decorating Christmas cookies is what memories are made of in our family. The sour cream will bring moisture and flavorful fat to what is a basic cookie without it.

The Modern Proper

Geese A' Laying

What an interesting recipe this is. It mixes Cointreau, Grey Goose, plum jam, lime and prosecco, of course.

Town and Country Mag

Champagne Stars

These cookies are said to be simple buttery sugar cookies that are topped with a champagne infused icing.

Sugar Spun Run

Champagne Cocktail

This is one cocktail that is worth celebrating. You can find the gold shimmering sugar used on the rim at Amazon.

Delicious Table

Millionaires Cookie Bars

I think that my Mom made these. My memory tells me that they were over the top good. These holiday bars feature a chocolate shortbread base, a caramel filling and a dark and white chocolate topping.  It all combines to create an absolutely delicious Christmas cookie.
