Dreams do come true. If you haven't already heard, the first-ever Food52 Holiday Cookie Truck will be driving around New York City this December 7th to 13th thanks to Nielsen-Massey Vanillas. Our co-founders Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs have a history of cookie competitions—and we're asking you to help decide who wins this one!
Earlier this year, A&M called on you to help develop their cookie recipes for the Food52 Holiday Cookie Truck, presented by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas. After hours of recipe testing and cookie nibbling, the results are in. Here are A&M's finished products, soon to be toted around on our very first Holiday Cookie Truck.
