How to Plan a Cookie Tasting Party

Hosting a cookie-tasting party isn’t as complicated as it sounds. With a few simple steps, you’ll be all set for a fun and flavourful evening!

  1. Pick the Date & Guest List
    Choose a date that works for you and your friends. Keep the guest list small and cozy for the best tasting experience, around 5-8 people.

  2. Choose Your Cookies
    Lowrey Butter Cookies come in a range of flavours, from classic butter to unique matcha and black sesame. Aim for 3–4 different flavours to give your guests a variety to taste. Check out the Lowrey flavour variety page to see which ones are available!

  3. Plan the Pairings
    Pairing drinks with each flavour is the secret to bringing out the best in every cookie. Look at coffee, wine, or even champagne to elevate the tasting experience. (More pairing tips below!)

  4. Set Up the Space
    Create a relaxed, comfortable area for your guests. Set up a table with small plates, napkins, and tasting cards where guests can jot down notes about each flavour. A cosy atmosphere helps everyone get into the tasting mood.

  5. Add Some Tasting Notes
    Give guests a guide to each cookie flavour they’ll taste. Write out short notes about what they might notice with each cookie, such as buttery richness, nuttiness, or unique hints of matcha. It’ll make the experience more interactive and enjoyable!



Tips for Pairing Lowrey Cookies with Beverages.

Pairing the right drink with each cookie brings out deeper flavours and adds an extra layer of enjoyment. Here are some ideas:

  • Classic Butter Cookie + Coffee or Black Tea
    The buttery richness pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or black tea. The slight bitterness from the drink cuts through the creamy texture of the cookie, creating a balanced flavour.

  • Matcha Cookie + Green Tea or Sparkling Water
    Enhance the earthy notes in the matcha cookie by pairing it with green tea or a simple sparkling water. These light beverages keep the focus on the unique taste of the matcha.

  • Black Sesame Cookie + Red Wine
    The nutty, slightly smoky flavour of black sesame shines when paired with a light red wine like Pinot Noir. The wine’s acidity complements the cookie's texture and taste.

  • Raspberry Cookie + Champagne
    For a touch of luxury, pair raspberry butter cookies with champagne. The fruity, tangy notes of raspberry meet the crisp, bubbly texture of champagne for an elegant experience.

Tasting Notes: What to Look for in Each Bite

To make the party even more interactive, encourage your guests to think about what they’re tasting. Here’s a quick guide to some tasting notes for Lowrey Butter Cookies:

  • Texture
    Notice how the cookie melts in your mouth. Is it soft, crumbly, or crisp? Lowrey cookies are designed to be buttery and melt-in-the-mouth, leaving a soft, satisfying finish.

  • Flavour Layers
    Take note of the primary flavour (buttery, nutty, or fruity) and any secondary flavours, like hints of sweetness or earthiness. Each flavour reveals itself as you chew, so take your time!

  • Aromas
    Smell is a big part of taste! Before you take a bite, try smelling each cookie to get an idea of its aromatic profile. The buttery richness or subtle matcha scent can add to the tasting experience.
