White Wine Pairing Box by CookieZen Recommended by Whom You Know


Aside from red wine pairings, CookieZen also has a box of Cookies & Corks made just for white wines! This box of cookies includes Apricot Sage, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and Ginger Molasses. Just thinking about these flavors makes my mouth water! I tried the Apricot Sage and the Peanut butter Chocolate with a glass of chardonnay as the box recommends. Later, I tried the Ginger Molasses with a glass of the recommended Pinot Grigio. Each of the pairings went together in perfect harmony! CookieZen has done an amazing job of blending sweet and savory into the wonderful little cookies!

You will find more varieties of white wine in my wine cabinet than any other wine. When I saw that CookieZen had a White Wine Pairing Box of their fabulous cookies, I was thrilled. Now I can enjoy my two favorite things together, cookies and white wine. In this pairing box, you will find Apricot Sage, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and Ginger Molasses along with what white wine it best pairs with. While I loved all these cookies and the suggestions it paired them with, my favorite had to be the Sauvignon Blanc and Apricot Sage cookies. I can't put my finger on what it was about the pairing, but I felt like I was in heaven. If you are looking for something to serve at your next dinner party or for a perfect gift, look no further than a bottle of white wine and the White Wine Pairing Box from CookieZen. 

Everyone enjoys a nice glass if white wine but sometimes it is hard to pair it with anything beyond the tradition cheese and crackers.We also have no idea how to pair it with sweets, can that even be done? Well, yes! Cookie Zen has introduced a fabulous line, Cookies & Corks, which pairs three awesome cookie types with different wine. We fell in love with the white wine pairing cookies. This generous box features apricot sage, peanut butter chocolate and ginger molasses cookies. The apricot sage where a huge hit with a glass of Gewürztraminer, a unique combination. Also enjoyed together the ginger molasses with a Pinot Grigio, who knew you could bring those flavors together? These boxes are recommended to serve eight people, so they are perfect for parties and picnics. Impress your friends with your wine pairing skills, Cookies & Corks makes it that easy.

A perfect hostess knows how to effortlessly make a party stand out. Cookies & Corks’ sweet and savory cookies are that something special that keeps people laughing, eating…and enjoying all night long!


Leah Kuo and Laura Englander, the duo behind Cookies & Corks, are always searching for ways to showcase the possibilities of their cookies. Not too long ago, at their local wine shop, they suggested pairing wine with cookies as a way to inject some fun into the typical wine tasting. The owner quipped, “Ladies, the only thing you pair with wine is a baguette.” Taking the challenge head-on, Leah and Laura sought to show him what cookies could do. They quickly realized they were on to something and began perfecting daring flavor combinations uniquely tailored to pair with wine varietals. 


Cookies & Corks is much more than a display or extra plate at the table, it’s a conversation starter, engaging everyone as guests experiment with different cookie and wine combinations. 


People are free to try pairing one cookie type with two different wines or pick the wine flavor of preference to try with several different cookies. The easy to use pairing guide is the perfect starting point. For instance, pair Zesty Lemon with Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, or pair the White Cheddar Rosemary and Sea Salt Chocolate Oatmeal with a Cabernet Sauvignon. The combinations are endless! 






Cookies & Corks is the wow factor that hostesses will love to make their party stylish, flirty and special. They place the emphasis back on good food, good conversation and good fun.
