It doesn’t get more festive than these bubbly pink strawberry champagne cookies!
Strawberry Champagne cookies
When it comes to cookies, I’m usually all about chocolate. Don’t even get me started listing my favorite chocolate desserts…chocolate mayonnaise cake…candy bar cake…Toll House cake…I could go on and on!
Ok, when it comes to ANY dessert — I’m totally a chocolate person!
That being said, every now and then I get a craving for something strawberry. I especially love strawberry cake with all of it’s luscious, sweet layers of berry and cream goodness. (Side note: must remind the husband to think up a strawberry layer cake recipe for the blog!)
Even though I’m partial to cake, I’m sooo excited about these strawberry champagne cookies!
They’re absolutely gorgeous, have a unique combination of sweet strawberry and tart champagne flavor, and the sugar sprinkle coating adds just the right amount of pop!
Wouldn’t they be fun to make for Valentine’s Day?
This is an easy and fun recipe and guaranteed to surprise the taste buds of whoever is lucky enough to receive a batch!

What is Champagne Extract?
Champagne extract imparts the flavor of champagne to recipes, without the sugar or alcohol of the real stuff. When using champagne extract, these cookies are perfectly fine for anyone to enjoy!
You can find champagne extract in specialty stores, or on Amazon with this link.
In the prep tips below, I’ll show you what to do if you don’t have champagne extract on hand — or if you want to try our strawberry champagne cookies with the extra pop of real sparkling wine.

The dough for our pink champagne cookies is a simple sugar cookie dough with a few special mix-ins.
If you can’t find champagne extract at the store, you can use real sparkling wine. Simply heat in a medium saucepan until the liquid reduces by half. Allow to cool before adding to your batter.
Keep in mind that this will make the cookie a no-go for anyone under 21, as some of the alcohol remains after baking. It will also give the cookies a more tart flavor – though I think the sugar sprinkles on top add the perfect balance.
After adding your pink food coloring, your strawberry champagne cookie dough may look reddish. Don’t worry — they will lighten up during baking and look a bright pink with the sprinkles!
If you don’t have a cookie scoop, simply make dough balls that are about the size of a ping-pong ball, or about 1 Tablespoon.
