Mocktail Cookies for the Holidays

Tropic like it’s hot. The Puerto Rican Coquito is creamy, rum-forward and made for a large punch bowl (not unlike eggnog!). This cookie celebrates that by tripling down on the coconut (using it in the cookie dough, the glaze and the garnish) and finishing with a kiss of rum flavour (rum or rum extract can be used). Save some for Santa – if you can!

Espresso-yourself! These cookies double down on all the best details of an espresso martini: rich flavour, creamy foam and plenty of espresso. Espresso powder enhances the chocolatey richness of this cookie, and it all comes together with a white chocolate drizzle and sprinkling of chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans.

If apply-ever-after were a cookie, this would be it. Apple pie spice and cider gives these chewy cookies the fruity, warm spice flavour you want, and the sweet glaze? That’s just a bonus. Tip: You can mix brandy or rum in with the apple cider as you mix the batter for a spiked cider version – or keep it zero ABV (Alcohol by Volume), your choice!

Studded with dried cranberries, ginger and an orange twist, these shortbread-style icebox cookies are a great make-ahead cookie for the holidays. Buttery and flavourful, they just might be the dark horse of baking season. Bonus: They’ll keep in the freezer for a couple weeks and stay crisp up to five in a well-sealed cookie container.

You can’t go wrong with royal icing and sprinkles at the cookie exchange. This sugar cookie leans into the sugar cookie martini’s sweet vanilla flavour, bringing a creamy finish with a decadent flourish of royal icing and of course – sprinkles!

Zesty clementine-laced cookies with an intensely pink pomegranate glaze? A perfect holiday pair! Choose your favourite cookie cutter, but we’re partial to the simple circle cookie, dipped in glaze with a generous dusting of sprinkles for that fizzy sparkle.
