Alright, let’s talk about these eggnog sandwich cookies, ya hear? I ain’t no fancy baker, but even I can whip these up. And let me tell ya, they’re somethin’ special.
First off, what are these things anyway? Well, they’re cookies, but not just any cookies. They’re like two cookies stuck together with somethin’ sweet and creamy in the middle. Like a little sandwich, but made of cookies. Eggnog flavor, mind you! That’s the good stuff, the kinda thing that makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like Christmas time, even if it ain’t.
Now, some folks say these cookies got a lot of calories. I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout that calorie stuff. Sounds like somethin’ them city folks worry about. All I know is, they taste good. They say there’s sugar and butter and stuff in ‘em. And spices! Yeah, like that cinnamon stuff, and that nutmeg, and… what’s that other one? Cloves! That’s it. Makes ‘em smell real nice, too.

- Butter

- Nutmeg
- Cloves
You gotta cream the sugar and butter together, they say. I just mix it all up good, until it looks… well, until it looks right. Then you add the other stuff – the flour, the spices, and a bit of that eggnog stuff, I guess. Makes ‘em taste like eggnog, see?
Then you gotta bake ‘em. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right. You want ‘em soft and chewy, not hard as rocks. Nobody wants a rock-hard cookie, unless you’re tryin’ to break a window or somethin’. And these cookies? They ain’t for breakin’ windows. They’re for eatin’.
Once they’re baked and cooled, you gotta make the filling. That’s the creamy stuff in the middle. Some folks put all sorts of fancy things in there, like caramel and whatnot. Me? I keep it simple. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, mix it all up, and it’s good to go. It’s gotta be sweet, though. And creamy. Like a little cloud of sweetness in your mouth.
Then you put the creamy stuff on one cookie, slap another cookie on top, and there ya go! An eggnog sandwich cookie. Easy as pie, they say. Well, pie ain’t all that easy, but these cookies are.
Some fancy chefs, they make these cookies too, you know. They put all sorts of fancy toppings on ‘em, like that caramel drizzle stuff. Looks nice, I guess, but tastes the same to me. A good cookie is a good cookie, no matter how fancy it looks.
These eggnog sandwich cookies, they’re perfect for the holidays. Christmas, Thanksgiving, whatever. Or just a regular Tuesday, if you’re feelin’ fancy. They are soft and chewy, and that eggnog flavor, it just warms ya right up. Makes ya feel happy. And that’s what matters, ain’t it? Bein’ happy. And eatin’ good cookies.
So, go on, make yourself some eggnog sandwich cookies. You don’t need no fancy equipment, no fancy ingredients. Just a little bit of time, a little bit of effort, and a whole lotta love. And maybe a glass of milk to go with ‘em. That’s how I like it, anyways. Soft cookies and a cold glass of milk. Can’t beat it.
And if you mess ‘em up? Well, that’s okay too. Even a messed-up cookie still tastes pretty darn good. Just don’t tell nobody I said that. They might think I don’t know how to bake. And I do know how to bake! I make the best darn eggnog sandwich cookies in the whole… well, in my kitchen, anyways.
