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.

My boyfriend lives 1,500 miles away and LOVES Coke. And I would give anything to be able to share a Coke with him. I make him extravagant holiday boxes (and birthday boxes, and just-because boxes, too). One of the things I will be making him for his Christmas box are your Coca-Cola cookies. I might even have to see if I can find a Coca-Cola Santa tin to put them in. Thank you for the recipe! I can’t wait for him to try them!!
That’s so sweet Jennifer! You could check out the Coke Store (I linked to it in the post) they have TONS of really cool Coca-Cola memorabilia.

We may have to try these! I would love to share a Coke with my dad again, he passed on December 5th, four years ago.
Oh, Tamika, I’m so sorry. I know that feeling of wanting just five more minutes.

Recipe looks terrific & I’m going to add to my list of cookies to bake this year. Now, for sharing that Coke. My wish would be for a very dear friend of mine to share a Coke with her husband. She lost him many years ago, when they were barely into their 30’s & she misses him every day. Bringing her that happiness would warm my heart.
Oh Donna! That is so heartbreaking! So, I have a really dear friend who has been with me through my loss of my mom and Elliot. And she is the best kind of friend because she doesn’t try to make it better. She’s just there. Your friend is lucky to have you through her loss.

I would like to share a coke with my friend, Nicole. I’ve known her since middle school and we’ve grown up together and she is such a big coca-cola addict. She’d be thrilled. And she’s someone I know that would honestly appreciate it. <3
Autumn B. says
I’d share a coke with my hubby. My grandma loved Coca-Cola and peanuts and we’d sit in her swing outside and enjoy that with her. She passed away in August and this will be my first Christmas without her. I think of her every time I open a Coca-Cola. I can’t wait to make these cookies and make some more memories with Coca-Cola!
I’m so sorry for your loss Autumn, first Christmases are really hard.
Brenda Lagasse says
I would share a Coke with my 93 year old Grammy.:)
Joyce DiTullio says

Cheryl says
These cookies look so good!! My Christmas tree is decorated with mainly Coca Cola ornaments and our son leaves cookies and a bottle of Coke for Santa. These cookies would be perfect for Santa! So I would definitely share a Coke with Santa and my husband. ????
