Holiday Baking Tips
Batch Bake like a Pro: Prepare extra dough & freeze it in ready-to-bake portions.
Chill Your Dough: Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes before baking to enhance flavor & prevent spread.
Use Clean Tools: Choose silicone or wooden utensils for gluten-free flours.
Cool Completely: Allow cookies to rest before storing to maintain balance.
Gift Thoughtfully: Package cookies in parchment & tie with twine for a beautiful presentation.

Cookie & Drink Pairing
Sip, Savor & Share the Season
A perfect cookie deserves a perfect companion. Whether it’s a quiet morning ritual, a holiday gathering, or a late-night indulgence, pairing your cookies with the right drink can transform simple sweetness into something memorable.
These pairings are curated by The Pascha Pantry Test Kitchen, where every bite of chocolate is treated like an experience, layered, nuanced & meant to be savored slowly.
CHOCOLATE DIPPED VEGAN MERINGUES & ESPRESSO
The crisp sweetness of the meringue meets the intensity of espres- so for an elegant pairing. The coffee’s bitterness amplifies the dark cocoa finish of Pascha 85%, creating harmony in contrast.
Optional Upgrade: Shave a bit of Pascha 100% over your espresso foam for a bold aromatic flourish.
GINGER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES & CHAI LATTE
The spice of chai, cinnamon, clove & cardamom together mir- rors the warmth of these cookies perfectly. The tea rounds out the ginger while complementing the creaminess of Pascha's 100% Chocolate Chips.
Optional Upgrade: Stir a teaspoon of melted Pascha 55% into your chai for a subtle chocolate note that ties the flavors together.
LOADED MARSHMALLOW COOKIES & HOT COCOA
Cookies & cocoa are the coziest duo of all. The marshmallows sweeten the creamy texture of Pascha's 100% Dark Chocolate Chips, while the warmth of the drink softens every bite.
Optional Upgrade: Make your cocoa using Pascha 85% bars for a richer base. Add a pinch of sea salt for balance.
TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES & RED WINE
The depth of Pascha 85% pairs beautifully with a bold Caber- net Sauvignon or Zinfandel. The wine’s tannins enhance the chocolate’s fruitier notes while mellowing its intensity.
Optional Upgrade: Serve with slices of fresh pear or dark cher- ries for an extra layer of indulgence.
MINI CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES & BLACK TEA
Crisp cookies with creamy centers deserve a subtle compan- ion. An earthy black tea, such as Darjeeling or Assam, comple- ments the nutty tones of almond flour & the gentle bitterness of Pascha 70%.
Optional Upgrade: Dip the cookies in holiday sprinkles for a festive touch.
LEMON WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES & SPARKLING WINE
Bright & bubbly meets light & citrusy. The effervescence of sparkling wine balances the creamy sweetness of Pascha White Chocolate & the tartness of lemon.
Optional Upgrade: Sprinkle finely grated lemon zest over the cookies before serving for a fragrant touch.
VEGAN CRINKLE COOKIES & ALMOND MILK LATTE
The smooth, nutty flavor of almond milk pairs beautifully with the deep cocoa of Pascha 70%. The sweetness of the latte complements the cookie’s rich, brownie-like texture.
Optional Upgrade: Add a spoonful of melted Pascha 85% to your latte for a mocha twist.
EASY CHOCOLATE SNOWFLAKES & PEPPERMINT TEA
Peppermint tea enhances the candy cane sprinkled on the choc- olate. It’s a refreshing pairing that clears the palate between bites.
Optional Upgrade: Stir in some melted Pascha 70% to your tea for a light chocolate touch.
CHOCOLATE PUFFED QUINOA COOKIES & ICED COLD BREW

Optional Upgrade: Stir a small square of Pascha 100% Choco- late into your cold brew for a sugar-free, rich cocoa infusion.
CHOCOLATE DIPPED COOKIES & DESSERT WINE
A lightly sweet dessert wine, such as Moscato or Port, pairs beautifully with the silky texture of Pascha 85% dipped cook- ies. It highlights both the cookie’s crispness & the chocolate’s luxurious melt.
Optional Upgrade: Add a touch of flaked sea salt to each dipped cookie before the chocolate sets for a professional finish.
The Pascha Philosophy of Pairing
Pairing is about balance—light with dark, sweet with bold, texture with tem- perature. At Pascha Chocolate, we believe that taste is an experience meant to awaken every sense. When you combine clean, intentional ingredients with a moment of pause, you create connection...the kind that lingers long after the last crumb.
This guide is your invitation to experiment.
Swap your morning coffee for herbal tea, your cocoa for espresso, your quiet night for a table full of friends. Let each cookie meet its perfect match & let each pairing tell its story. One sip, one bite, one shared memory at a time.
