These Coca-Cola Cookies are perfectly soft with the most delicious Coca-Cola Frosting!
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.

I’m definitely going to make these cookies for my grandchildren.
I’d love to share a coke with my mom and dad who are deceased. Some of my fondest memories were the special times growing up with my six siblings when my parents let us all have a coke! It had to be a picnic or a birthday party but I would give anything to have them with us again enjoying a coke and a hug!
I definitely know that feeling, Ruth!
Peggy says
These look delicious! I’m a coke lover and I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like ????
I would love to share a coke with my daughter. She lives 400 miles away so I don’t get to see her as often as I would like. I’m so proud of her accomplishments and she’s so kind to everyone.
This is beautiful, Peggy

One of oMy family Christmas traditions is to hand out Christmas PJ’s on Christmas Eve and have a bottled Coke. Then we always share one with SANTA! We leave him a bottled Coke and cookies. I think this year I might have to make these to leave with his Coke! Thank you!
Christie
Ahhh! I love that! That’s so sweet!

After reading your blog, I think I’d like to share a coke with you. Would love to hear more about your mother. I’d also share one with my own mother. She’s my rock. I’m 44yrs old and she’s still looking after me.

I would love to share a coke with my kids. They are high schooners and I could use some one on on time with them in order to keep in touch with what is going on in their lives
Kelly M says
I would share a coke with my BFF, who unfortunately lives two states away! Coke was one of our ‘things’ in high school, we even used to collect coke memorabilia! Love the idea for these cookies, I’m definitely going to give them a try!
Mallo says
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.
Michelle says
Instead of scooping these cookies, could they be rolled out to use with cookie cutters?
This recipe really wouldn’t work for that, Michelle, I’m sorry.
Alma says
Could this recipes be frozen up to three months??? If so what is the best way to freeze the dough??
I haven’t tried freezing it, but my favorite post for how to best freeze desserts is this one: http://www.crazyforcrust.com/2014/10/freeze-desserts/ If you freeze them, I would make the frosting right before eating.
