Pro Tip: Simply add a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint, or some marshmallows to make it more festive.

To take your cookie-and-drink session to the next level, consider:
· Match intensities: Light cookies should be accompanied by gentle drinks while dense cookies require strong drinks.
· Pair flavors: Spiced cookies with spiced drinks, chocolate cookies with the cocoa-based drinks, and fruity cookies with tart drinks.
