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.
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
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.

Can’t wait to try these for my husband! He drinks Coke every day, so I would definitely share one with him!
Erin says
I’d share a coke with my two crazy brothers because they love coke as much as I do. And these cookies might get shared at my cookie swap this Sunday! Was looking for a fun new recipe. Thanks!

In the ingredient list you have 1/2 cup of butter (see note) listed but there is no note. Are additional directions needed?
I just added it! It’s about how you know your butter is perfectly soft.
Danielle says
While these cookies taste really good, they do not have any cola flavor which was a huge disappointment. Am going to tweak the recipe and add some cola extract a and see how that goes. I love the idea of using pop in cookies and will try it with other flavors as well.

I would share an ice cold Coca=Cola with my hubby and a few other family members. Thanks for the recipe.
Laura says
I would love to share a coca-cola and these yummy coca-cola cookies with my mom. She is in a nursing home and any celebrations are always good for her. She loves her treats and I love her.
Tammy Prater says
This is wonderful! I make Coca Cola cake, but never thought of cookies. I bet they’re awsome. I’ll definitely be giving them a try. If I could share a coke with anyone, it would be my mom. However, she passed away 14 yrs ago. It still seems like yesterday and I understand how holidays are difficult for you because they are for me. Maybe we could share one together…Merry Christmas! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Oh Tammy, this made me tear up. I’m so sorry that you are walking through life without your mom. It’s so hard. Merry Christmas!

These cookies look yummy!
I’m a Coke gal. I hate when it’s not an option! I guess I would share it with my husband, I have to fight him for the good Mexican cokes when I buy them. Lol
Alyce says
