Peanut butter blossom cookies paired with Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss Beer is the perfect beer and cookie pairing for a holiday party!

Peanut Butter Blossom Christmas Cookie Recipe

This year I am ditching all of my pre-conceived notions about milk being cookies’ perfect match. I’ve teamed up with Pints and Plates to share the most amazingly unexpected combination, a recipe for classic peanut butter blossom cookies paired with Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss beer.

This is a match made in heaven. It reminds me of a grown-up peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When Pints and Plates came to me with the idea of a beer and cookie pairing, I loved it! What a fun holiday idea for grown-ups and perfect for holiday entertaining.

Peanut Butter Blossom Christmas Cookie Recipe

Peanut butter blossoms have been a long standing favorite holiday cookie contender. Soft peanut butter cookies baked until just slightly golden on the bottom and puffed then topped with chocolate kisses.

I can pretty much guarantee they will be a new holiday family favorite if they aren’t already! Plus, if you have little ones in the house, they will love to help press the kisses into the top of each cookie…and eat a few along the way.

Now for the grown up part, the beer. Set out a plate of cookies and pour a couple of glasses of Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss. Even if you’re not a huge beer drinker, this would be a good one to try! It’s very fruity and effervescent so it makes a nice holiday dessert drink. It’s also a good one to sip on while making holiday cookies, I might add!

As for other cookie and beer pairings, Pints and Plates recommends a few:
Sugar cookies + Leinenkugel’s Snowdrift Vanilla Porter.
Shortbread cookies + Blue Moon Pacific Apricot Wheat.
Chocolate Chip cookies + Leinenkugel’s Snowdrift Vanilla Porter.
Snickerdoodle cookies + Crispin Original Cider.
