I’m so happy to be partnering with Coca-Cola to bring you this delicious cookie recipe! Thank you for supporting the brands that make Wine & Glue possible.

If you have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I lost my mom a few years back. She passed away just a few days before Christmas just hours after we had Gavin. There have been so many challenges that have come with losing my mom, but far and away, the biggest challenge has been being a mom without her. There have been countless times when I have wished that I could just pick up a phone and call her.

But! I have friends. I have the most wonderful friends on the planet. They have kiddos, little kiddos like mine, and they have been there for me through the last nine years of mothering in a way I could have only dreamed of. I have totally come to rely on my co-moms (is that a weird thing to call them . . . you get what I’m saying, right? Like co-workers). They get me, they listen, and they reassure me all.the.time. that I’m not absolutely screwing up every last thing.

On its side, a glass Coca-Cola bottle is right next to two Coca-Cola Cookies.

There are three friends in particular, Cathy, Meaghan, and Rachel, that I lean on super hard, especially around the holidays. We have a tradition that is going on something like seven years of getting together one Saturday every December and baking our tails off making treats, but mainly just hanging out, drinking wine, and talking about all the things that goes into being moms. We listen to Christmas music, we laugh, and we lean on each other. And it is one of my very favorite Christmas traditions. It has made, what could be just a horrible time of year for me, more than bearable. It has made it actually delightful.

So when Coca-Cola asked me to write about who makes my holidays brighter, and who I would like to #ShareACoke with, it is these three who totally popped into my mind right away. How great are these customized glass bottles? I think they are so cute, I can’t wait to give them to my friends with some of these Coca-Cola Cookies! Head over to the #ShareACoke website and you can see how easy it is to customize and order some for all the special people in your life!

Once you get your customized bottles, you can make some of these cookies to go with it for your special someone who makes your holidays brighter. These cookies are amazing. So super soft and delicious and with the best Coca-Cola Frosting to go on them. They are going to be a new holiday favorite . . . . maybe even all year long ;)

Coca-Cola Cookies with Coca-Cola Frosting

Serves: 2 1/2 dozen cookies
(tap # to scale)

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature (see note)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup Coca-Cola at room temperature
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • For frosting
  • 8 TBSPs butter room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Coca-Cola at room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulate sugar, until light and fluffy, about two minutes.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract, then the egg, then the Coca-Cola, until just combined.
  • Slowly beat in the flour mixture, about a half of a cup at a time, until just combined.
  • Using a 1 1/2 TBSP cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto a parchment paper or silicon mat lined baking sheet. The cookies should be about two inches apart to allow for some spreading.
  • Bake for 13 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Remove from the oven, allow to sit on the pan for about two minutes, then remove to a cooling wrack to cool completely before.
  • To make frosting, beat the butter until it begins to turn creamy, then add the first cup of sugar. Once combined, add the Coca-Cola. Then add in the remaining cups of sugar one at a time. Pipe onto cooled cookies and top with sprinkles.

Notes

You know your butter is soft when you can press your finger into it and it makes a dent but doesn’t go all the way through. You can cut it up and leave it on the counter for 30 minutes and it will be perfect. Or! You can fill a tall glass with water, microwave it for 30 seconds, empty the water, put it over the butter standing on end, and leave it for 10 minutes.

    I would love to share a Coke with my daddy. He is my best friend. We do lots of things together and he is my world. He makes all of my days happy when I am down. Although I am grown now I will ALWAYS be his little girl! ????

  5. Margaret Weston says

    This recipe looks great, I can’t wait to try. We have a cookie exchange at work and this looks like my new addition.

  6. Martha Jones says

    Losing loved ones is NEVER easy at any time of year, but losing someone (especially your mother) so close to Christmas is like adding insult to injury. I think I may know how you feel. I lost my dad unexpectedly, five days before Christmas in 1999. He died pretty much instantly, which was a blessing. But sixteen years later, I still miss him and wish I could have had just five more minutes with him, knowing what I know now, to say goodbye. Friends and family make things bearable and it helps to know that I’m not the only one who misses him.

    Now, these cookies look WONDERFUL. I can’t wait to taste them! Anyone around when they’re done MAY get to try them, too. Those who aren’t? Too bad, so sad for them! :^D

    • Lisa Longley says

      Martha! This made me cry! You articulated my feelings so perfectly. Merry Christmas!

    • Lisa Longley says

      Oh, Lynda! That totally speaks to me. My husband and I have weathered some SERIOUS storms. It makes for an amazing marriage if you can work through it all.

  8. Cathy | Lemon Tree Dwelling says

    I’m completely in love with these cookies and those BOTTLES! And so glad I can be here for you over the holidays. I love you and love our traditions!!!

    Every day, after school, I would have a Coca Cola. It was the signal that “work” was done, other than homework, for the day and to relax. That was over 50 years ago. I’ll make a bet that there will be children who could use a Coca Cola in any form to feel “good times”. I see these cookies in my great granddaughter’s very near future. Thanks for such a good memory.

  10. Pam Holland says

    I would like to share a Coke with my friend Debbie. We both love to drink Coca Cola and she collects Coca Cola memorabilia. I’m a mini collector. Sometimes, when I find something for her I end up buying two. ????

    • Lisa Longley says

      Awww, this would be perfect Pam! I hope you win!
