TOM AND JERRY BATTER
This is a holiday drink that my family enjoys in the winter. The batter makes an excellent topping for both alcoholic beverages as well as hot cocoa, eggnog, or warm milk for the kids.

Steps:
- Beat egg whites and salt until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.
- Beat the egg yolks to soft peaks in a separate bowl. Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture; mix. Stir in the nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and the egg whites; beat until well blended. Batter can be frozen or kept in refrigerator for several weeks.
- To make a Tom and Jerry, fill a cup of hot water with spiced rum or brandy, warm milk, hot cocoa, or eggnog and stir in 1 heaping tablespoon of batter.

TOM AND JERRY
This drink has nothing to do with the cartoon cat and mouse, or Jerry Thomas, the celebrated New York barman of the 1800s, who often boasted of inventing it. It is a rich holiday elixir, a relative of eggnog that flourished in America in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and is frequently (though not definitively) credited to Pierce Egan, the English chronicler of sports and popular culture. Robert Simonson brought this version of the drink, which is especially popular in Wisconsin and is bordering states, to The Times in 2012. It is adapted from Audrey Saunders, the owner of the Manhattan cocktail bar Pegu Club. She decreased the sugar and added Angostura bitters and vanilla. "It makes a huge difference," she said. It's best on snowy days, when it can warm and comfort from within.

THE BEST TOM AND JERRY BATTER!
Winter's coming and there's nothing better on a cold snowy night than a good Tom & Jerry! After trying several other batters we have determined this one is the best - the marshmallow cream is what makes it. The batter will last for several days. Some separation will happen but you can mix it up and it will be fine.

Tips:
- Opt for Room Temperature Ingredients: Always aim to use ingredients at room temperature for a smoother, more homogenous batter.
- Whisk Properly: Don't just stir your batter. Proper whisking incorporates air and results in a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Butter Consistency: Softened butter is essential for perfect cookies. It should be soft enough to blend seamlessly, but not melted.
- Control the Oven Temperature: Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking. Sudden temperature changes can affect the cookies' texture and appearance.
- Watch the Edges: Keep an eye on the edges of the cookies. Once they turn a light golden brown, they're ready to be taken out.
- Cooling Process: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before transferring them to an airtight container. This prevents condensation and maintains their crispiness.
Conclusion:
Baking cookies is an art that requires patience, precision, and a dash of creativity. By following these detailed tips and meticulously executing each step, you'll create delectable cookies that will delight your taste buds and leave you craving more. Remember, practice makes perfect.
