Pink Champagne Cookies Recipe
Equipment
- To make these delightful cookies, I gathered a few items from my kitchen. Here’s what I used:
- Mixing bowls: One large and one medium.
- Electric mixer: A hand or stand mixer works great.
- Baking sheets: For baking, of course.
- Parchment paper: To prevent sticking.
- Cookie cutters: For that perfect shape.
- Wire rack for cooling the cookies.
- These tools help make everything go smoothly and get the best results. Remember, a little prep makes the process fun!
Ingredients
Here’s my list of ingredients that brings these cookies to life:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup pink champagne bubbly and fun 🍾
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pink food coloring: Optional for a lovely hue
- Sprinkles: For decorating
These ingredients mix together for a taste that’s light and sweet with a fizzy twist!
Instructions
Making these cookies is a breeze, and I enjoyed every step of it. Here is how I baked them:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla.
- Mix in champagne gently; add food coloring if you like.
- Combine dry ingredients in another bowl. Slowly add to wet mix.
- Roll out dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool on wire rack and add sprinkles for sparkle! ✨
I found it’s important to watch them closely as they bake, as they can overcook quickly.

Presentation & Serving
I’m so excited to share how to plate and serve these delightful pink champagne cookies! 🎉
First, I arrange the cookies on a white or pastel-colored platter. It makes the pink really pop! You can also use a tiered cake stand for an elegant touch.
Garnishing Tips:
- Sprinkle edible glitter or pink sugar on top. ✨
- Use small edible flowers for a whimsical look. 🌸
For serving, I recommend pairing these cookies with a glass of chilled pink champagne or sparkling water. This makes them perfect for a festive brunch or party! 🍾
Essentials for Serving:
- Platter: White or pastel for contrast
- Glasses: Champagne flutes for a classy vibe
- Napkins: Pink or gold to match the theme
Displaying cookies in small groups of 3-5 adds a cozy feel, and a bow or ribbon around the platter adds a touch of flair. Let guests help themselves and watch the smiles appear! 😄
Remember, presentation is key, and these little touches make all the difference. Happy serving!
Storage Tips
I’m so excited to share these storage tips for my Pink Champagne Cookies! 🍪✨
To keep these cookies fresh and delicious, follow these simple steps!
- Room Temperature: Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for about 3-4 days.
- Refrigeration: If you’d like to keep them longer, pop them into the fridge. They’ll stay tasty for up to one week. Just make sure they’re in a sealed container!
- Freezing: For even longer storage, the freezer is your best friend! Place the cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll last up to three months.
When ready to enjoy, just let the cookies come to room temperature, or give them a quick zap in the microwave for that fresh-baked taste.
