But when enjoying your favorite cookie this holiday season, whether it be your grandmother’s famous recipe or something unconventional, add a boozy twist by pairing it with wine.

A crowd favorite all-around. The dark red wine pairs perfectly with the chocolate chips – especially if the chips are dark chocolate.

Even if oatmeal raisin cookies are your least favorite type of cookie, they will surly become your favorite when paired with Shiraz.  The Shiraz compliments the salty oatmeal flavors perfectly.

A rich, crumbly, buttery shortbread cookie is good enough on its own. But when paired with bubbly champagne – it’s even better.

The quintessential Christmas cookie. The rich, somewhat spicy flavors of the gingerbread cookie pair perfectly with the sweet, peachy taste of Riesling.

Also often called Snowball cookies, these crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are an Italian favorite, so it only seems right to pair it with Italy’s most popular white wine.
