December 2023 CoTM: Noggin' All The Way
Before I owned a cookie company, I was known for holiday cookie treats for friends and family. I really loved making this one. I didn’t like eggnog growing up, but thanks to Uncle Joe…that changed. I used to take the train from Boston to Lowell for Thanksgiving and my Uncle Joe would pick me up for a couple days at his house for Thanksgiving. As soon as I got set up in the spare room, I’d make it to the kitchen and Joe had eggnog for me. Then, I would stay up late and talk to him and my Aunt Mel. So, it’s a fond memory. When I first started Top Shelf Cookies I actually called this cookie “Uncle Joe’s Eggnog” but eventually changed the name to Noggin’ All The Way.
I can’t not have eggnog without thinking of sitting with Joe and Mel. I’m very lucky to come from a large family and Joe and Mel are two of my most favorite people ever.
Enough about me, onto the cookie. It’s a sugar cookie made with eggnog and we use the good stuff from Milton’s Thatcher Dairy just a few miles from our retail shop in Dorchester. Cinnamon and nutmeg are blended into the cookie and to be a little extra we sprinkle with nutmeg before baking and I love making this cookie and I hope you will enjoy eating it as this month’s cookie of the month!
We typically get a lot of new subscribers to Cookie of the Month in December due to the holidays! So, if you are new or you were gifted COTM and have questions, reach out we’re here to help!
