15 Cookie and Cocktail Combinations Everyone Needs To Try This Fall

As the weather gets chillier, sweet-tooths tend to crave hyper. What better way to saty warm than satisfying it two-fold?

Snickerdoodles and Brandy Alexander 

If you're one to always get seconds on dessert, here are your thirds and fourths. Brandy, creme de cacao, and heavy cream come together at the side of crispy, chewey, cinnamon-y cookies, beggin you to put your feet up. Get those fuzzy socks on, the charcoal mask out, and the crew on FaceTime. This is self-care like no influencer has done it before.

Orange-Cranberry Cookies and a Ramos Gin Fizz

For 60 days out of every year, ornage-cranberry cookies become a personal obsession. Bake 'em yourself for that warm and giddy, Martha Stweart-esque, kind of feeling. And if you're in the modd to impress, the Ramos Gin Fizz's impressive milky snow-top is just the thing to top off the night. Gin, citrus, orange water, cream, and club soda. The only thing missing is Mariah Carrey and a mistloe themed karaoke set up.

Ginger Snaps and Irish Coffee

There are few things warmer and more feel-good than a freshly baked, crystallized, ginger snap cookie. Set down a baking tray full of them neatly next to a mug of hot coffee, cream float, Irish whiskey and Demerara syrup, and you've got a recipe for cuddly night (or a very interesting Saturday morning.)

Molasses Cookies and Vieux Carre

Feeling French? New Orleans is pretty close, the French Quarter that is. A heavenly balance of a little-bit-of-everything - brandy, whiskey, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, Angostura, and Peychaud's bitters (say that three times fast) - use the molasses cookie to sweeten the cooling bitter.

Lebkuchen Cookies and Bramble

We've all gone traditional gingerbread before, so let's take this opportunity to travel together - all the way to Germany. Lebkuchen, a traditionally Germany cookie, is a Chirstmas time favourite. It's sugar and spice will go oh so very nice with a 1980s era Bramble, with a blackcurrant tang from Merlet Creme de Mures, gin, and simple syrup.

Chocolate-Dipped Macaroons and Amaretto Sour

We know it's getting colder, and one may be inclined to opt for something more pumpkin, pecan-pie, or peppermint centered (like that allieration?). But instead of cementing ourselves in the present, why not relive summer a little? Soft coconutty insides with a crunchy exterior, made sultry in a bath of dark chocolate, couples with the sickly sweet almondy amaretto, a lemon-sour and whisked egg white, for an evening so decadent you may have to turn down the lights.

Date Nut Pinwheels and Penicillin

If you're into smoke and mirrors, the Penicillin is your game. Dark Islay Scotch, honey-ginger syrup, and lemon juice bring a revival like no other. With the molasses-like taste of thick and rich dates, and the aromatics of walnut and almond blends into a thin and crispy wheel, this is combination that'll keep you singing as Moulin Rouge rages full volume in the background.

Strawberry Sugar Cookies and French 75

For all the Dolce and Gabbana, Louboutin, rose-toting people out there. Throw on your gowns, apply the glitter, and watch yourself dance to French Indie Pop as the French 75's gin, lemon juice, sugar, and Champagne whisk you away to a dreamy-pink ether. Soft sugar cookies with pieces of whole strawberries and Champagne bubbles come together in a sumptuous and heavenly daze, asking you to turn on Sex and the City and stay a while.

Walnut Tassies and Boulivardier 

Rye, amaro, sweet vermouth, and an orange peel, for pizazz of course, gives your everyday Negroni a soulful tender. Paired with cinnamon, and brown sugar heavy, the traditionally Southern walnut tassies are bite sized cuties for a warm, fluffy-blanket, kind of night.

White Chocolate Macadmia Nut Cookies and Espresso Martini

Good morning and good night, chocolate lovers. An energy shot for a sweet tooth, vanilla vodka, espresso, and cream are the perfect warm dip-in for white chocolate macadmia nut cookies. Their rich, milky, and fatty qualities are high brow for the decadent, and envy worthy for those watching (because we know you're not sharing).

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
