~Egg Nog Teacakes~

This is my way of saluting the end of the holiday season and saying good-bye until next year to Egg Nog... The best thing about the holidays are the festive foods and drink that you can only have during that time, my favorite is Turner's Boiled Custard but my mother is a fan of the Egg Nogg... I can't see how anyone drinks that stuff but any who, I do however try to incorporate in all my baking, from cookies to cakes... And my absolute favorite is the Egg Nogg Teacakes, the recipe called for buttermilk but I remixed it and added it making the cookies even better than before. Its a really old school snack cookie with a cake like texture, my grandmother used to make them but not one of my aunts and my mother knew her recipe, she was one of those know everything measure with her hands and a coffee cup kind of cooks.
