How To Eat Cookies
Deciding Where to Serve the Cookies
When you're having guests, you can place cookies throughout the house in
any room where you expect guests to gather and mingle. Doing so
minimizes the crowds in any one place. Offering cookies around the house in
various strategic places allows guests to nibble as they go. Try placing a tray
in the family room, one or two in the living room, several in the kitchen, and
others in locations that you deem gathering spots for your guests. Put a
serving plate somewhere near the front door so that guests can treat
themselves coming and going.
What to Drink with Cookies
Milk probably tops the list of beverages that go well with cookies — and the
colder the better. But coffee and tea are a close second. Milk, coffee, and tea
are all good for dipping your cookies, but coffee seems to be the favorite
dipping beverage. Just about any type of cookie is good with milk, coffee, or
tea.
Hot chocolate is great with cookies and is also popular for dipping. Other
warm drinks, like warm cider, can be a real treat with cookies.
Cold, sweet sodas are okay, but if they're too sweet, the sugar rush may be
too much. Some fruit juices are not as sweet as a lot of sodas and go very
well with cookies. I like orange juice and cookies. Be careful about too much
flavor contrast. Because personal tastes can differ widely, experimentation is
advised.
Dessert wines, sherries, and ports go exceptionally well with cookies,
especially chocolate cookies. Some liquors also go well with cookies. Dipping
may be in order here, also.
What to Eat with Cookies
Other cookies, of course, should be eaten with cookies! Ice creams,
puddings, and yogurt also go with cookies. You can also try sorbets and
fruit bowls with your cookies. They're lighter than a big heavy dessert. And
people can limit themselves to just one cookie (or two) if they want.
