A Cookie’s Best Friend Are These 9 Comforting Drinks
Although milk and cookies go hand in hand, this year we’re raising the jar—er, bar—in collaboration with Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse®. Here, we’ll show you how to combine their new Thin & Crispy Butter Pecan Cookies with inventive, in-season drinks. Their short and sweet ingredient list makes them taste like homemade delights. Free of gluten? We also have some suggestions for their straightforward Butter Crisp and Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies.Drink & Cookie
I’m not sure why, but I can’t really appreciate a cookie until I’m drinking something to go with it, and then dipping the cookie in it, of course.Drink & Cookie
Drink & Cookie
There are a ton of different drinks that are equally wonderful, but my favorite is always an ice-cold glass of milk—it’s a classic for a reason. I like to mix things up a little during the cold winter months, pairing whatever sweets I’m eating with something warm and comforting, like Irish coffee or hot chocolate with cardamom spices. I’ll keep Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Thin & Crispy Cookies on hand for whenever the mood strikes, which is pretty much every night after dinner because I’m not the finest baker in the world.Drink & Cookie
Take a look at these cold-weather drink ideas if you anticipate eating cookies in the future (how could you not?). They’re all quite comforting and go well with a cookie (or five).Drink & Cookie
Hot Chocolate with Cardamom
A spoonful of butter adds a richness that is impossible to achieve from milk alone, and a few crushed green cardamom pods transform hot chocolate from bland to warm, herbal, and zesty. The outcome is calming, nuanced, and richly chocolatey, making it the ideal complement to the pepperidge farm farmhouse butter pecan cookies’ nutty, sweet flavors.Drink & Cookie
Tea with Apple Peel
Another great reminder to preserve product leftovers, in this case apple peels, is this slow-simmered tea. Replace the brown sugar with maple syrup for an extra-seasonal touch, and add more cloves and maybe even some allspice to increase the spice level. The combination of the pecan cookies’ butteriness and the sharpness of the apple peel and warming spice makes for a really soothing way to conclude the workday or a leisurely Sunday.Drink & Cookie
Malted Milk Latte
Routine is key to my work-from-home lifestyle, and coffee is essential in the morning. I make this chocolatey, creamy, malted-milk latte with a strong espresso kick whenever I want something a little nicer than my typical French press with milk. I’ll occasionally indulge myself to drinking it with a cookie—any kind of chocolate chip is a perfect complement in my book.Drink & Cookie
Sticky Chai
Speaking of habit, I also have an afternoon ritual with my lover. He prepares a batch of gingery, spice-forward chai every day at around four o’clock, and we take a brief break from work to enjoy it together. A few buttery cookies are a great addition, but it’s incredibly comforting on its own. (I prefer to dip my into the tea until they are tender and almost crumbly, and then bite into them.)Drink & Cookie
Irish Coffee
Few things are as gratifying or soul-warming as a good Irish coffee—by which I mean one that has smooth Irish whiskey served at a toasty temperature, robust (but never bitter) coffee, and soft, billowy peaks of whipped cream. After dinner, it’s particularly opulent to enjoy one with some crunchy, nut-flecked cookies, like the Butter Pecan—the ideal dessert combination, in my opinion.
Star Anise Milk
Whole milk (silky coconut milk would also work well here), star anise, and a teaspoon of molasses for smokey sweetness make up this straightforward, star anise-spiced milk, but it’s so much more than the sum of its components. Along with a couple of Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Butter Crisp Cookies (which also happen to be gluten-free), this also makes a great after-dinner dessert because anise is said to help with digestion.
Brown Butter Cafe Brulot
You can create a variation of this traditional drink at your own table, but it’s most famous for being served at some of the city’s most famous restaurants (Antoine’s to Arnaud’s) with a lot of tableside hoopla. Brown butter, which is used in this variation, gives this spiced and spiked hot coffee even more flavor depth. Why not include a cookie or two on the side to make this even more extravagant?
Tahini Date Shake
This morning (or afternoon) shake, while not cozy in the conventional sense, combines the brilliant sweetness of dates, frozen bananas, and vanilla almond milk with the creamy-rich warmth of tahini and cinnamon. Anything with nuts (I’m looking at you, Butter Pecan) and cookies with chocolate or tahini already in them would go nicely with it.
Caramelized White Chocolate Cocoa
You can never have too many alternatives for hot cocoa, can you? Compared to recipes that only use cocoa powder, this caramelized white-chocolate version is likely unlike any you’ve ever had because it has greater depth and caramelly richness. Any cookie would be perfect, so choose your favorite.
We’re sharing some delectable ways to savor Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse’s new Thin & Crispy Butter Pecan Cookies throughout the season, from pairing them with a spiced coffee cocktail after dinner to dipping them in a warm cup of tea after work. These buttery-crunchy cookies, which are created with a limited number of high-quality ingredients, will remind you of homemade cookies without the mess. Try their Thin & Crispy Butter Crisp and Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies, which are made with authentic ingredients like creamery butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, for a gluten-free delight. The Pepperidge Farm area of the cookie aisle is where you can find a bag (or two!) of Farmhouse delights the next time you’re shopping.
