Sam Summer
Crafted with Care, Baked to Perfection

Zesty, breezy, wicked good
This summertime stunner is bursting with citrus and Boston charm. We start by creaming real butter and sugar, then blend in orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, cage-free eggs, and a healthy pour of Sam Adams Summer Ale. Once the flavors are dancing, we mix in King Arthur Flour (a Vermont favorite) along with leaveners, kosher salt, pink peppercorn, and lime crystals for a surprising little twist. Each dough ball is hand-scooped, rolled in sugar, and baked until golden, fragrant, and perfect.
Light, bright, and unapologetically local, Sam Summer is a seasonal treat you’ll want to savor. Grab a ½ dozen stack, kick back, and taste summer the way Bostonians do—with a little citrus, a little beer, and a lot of attitude

Top Shelf Cookies aren't your typical cookie, so it's no surprise we were founded in a less than typical manner. Heather started making cookies as a superstition and then made it her job. Over ten years later, Heather and her time are still crafting up new recipes with high quality and sometimes unusual ingredients!
Let customers speak for us
Mailed to my Nephew at college. He and his housemates enjoyed a taste of home
I have loved this cookie since Top Shelf opened for business and am eager to get my order whenever they appear on the menu! There are so many more complex and delicious flavors on offer, but the simple oaty/walnutty/maple flavor will always be my absolute favorite! I always order as many as possible when they make an appearance. Top Shelf always takes good care of me and gives me the Vermonter heads up!
I ordered three dozen cookies as a hostess gift and am so satisfied and impressed with this company. I had an advance question regarding nuts and baking procedure as there was a nut allergy in my recipient’s family. My question was answered promptly to my satisfaction and I placed my order. The shipping was super fast and the recipient said they were delicious! I am extremely happy with my purchase and I think the price paid was worth the value of the product. I highly recommend and will use this company in the future—can’t wait to taste them myself!
The salted caramel cookies were absolutely delicious. When you place them in the microwave for a few seconds the caramel melts and you have a warm gooey, delectable cookie! I shared several packages with friends as gifts and would order them again!
Amazing! My parents loved receiving the cookies each month. They said they were so delicious and fresh and always arrived on time!
Got these as a gift for my fiancé and I have to say I ate just as many as her! They were fantastic and the variety was amazing! Would highly recommend!
The Boston Rum Banana Bread cookies are the perfect combination of cookie and afternoon snack. Great depth of flavor, and the texture is chewy and delicious. These are going on my seasonal must-buy rotation, along with the Fluffs and Cocoa on the Common! <3
This was the best gift for a client living in the Boston area. Each month they get a box of cookies that they love and I get positive thoughts from them. A win win.
Ordered as a gift and the recipient RAVED about them -- the perfect texture, flavor-- and the pure ingredients. I will definitely order again.
The perfect comfort gift! Sent from Pittsburgh to Boston for a birthday! Much appreciated and delicious too!
The 3-month subscription box made for a fantastic gift.
I ordered my "Build your own cookie box" late in the evening and there was bad weather happening. I didn't expect the delivery to made for a few days but they arrived in less than 48 hours! My sister loved her 3 packages and I loved the packaging I added for myself! It was exactly what we all needed to get us through the terrible snow and ice!
