Without fail, every time we grab a few cookies for dessert, my husband’s first order of business is always to pour a tall glass of cold milk. It doesn’t matter if it’s chocolate-dipped shortbread, chewy oatmeal cookies, or jam-filled Linzer cookies, milk is a must. But really, who can blame him? Cookies are always better when partnered with a glass of milk — especially these 10 cookies.

If there’s one thing that can make a batch of chewy chocolate chip cookies even better, it’s a glass of milk.

It’s hard to imagine the holiday season without crisp gingerbread cookies, bursting with warm spices, molasses, and brown sugar. Try dipping them in a cool glass of milk and you won’t regret it.
If you ask me, Linzer cookies take the award for the prettiest sandwich cookie,. But they’re not all looks — these sweet-tart treats have an irresistibly rich, tender crumb with a hint of nuttiness.
Mandelbrot is the Eastern European cousin of Italian biscotti. While many people are quick to pair it with coffee and tea, a warm glass of milk also makes a fantastic partner.
When it comes to cookies, it’s hard to beat a warm, freshly baked batch featuring the dynamic duo of oats and raisins.
