The CM knows how to pair booze and cookies.

If I weren’t writing for theboozebuzz, I’d probably be covering my second greatest love and working on thecookiebuzz (name not as catchy). That’s why I was so excited to see the Seattle Times’ cookie pairings.

There’s a lot more than milk out there. What would go perfectly with a popcorn ball? Belgium ale. Delicious. Sparkling wine is the perfect mate to shortbread cookies. Why not liven up those ginger cookies with some chai cream liqueur?

But the pairing with the most potential:

Maple oatmeal cookies with an oatmeal stout beer: The oatmeal adds a touch of sweetness to the beer, a nice match for the sweetness of the cookies… The cookies themselves have a chewy texture, which also pairs well with the rich texture of the beer.

Surprisingly, they left the masterpiece chocolate chip cookie off their list. My suggestion for pairing with chocolate chip is Irish cream on the rocks (and of course, more cookies).
