This is a very thick and chewy bar cookie with the flavors of nog and delicious crunch of macadamias along with a yummy eggnog glaze. This would be a nice afternoon treat with a hot cup of coffee or a large glass of milk. Recipe from Better Homes and Garden.

How To Make nutty eggnog bars

  • 1
    Line a 13x9 pan with foil, then grease the foil.

    In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, cook sugar and butter, stirring, until butter is melted. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Stir eggs and vanilla into sugar mixture.
  • 3
    Add flour, baking powder, and nutmeg; stir to combine. Stir in nuts. Spread the dough in the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the pan.
  • 4
    Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars or diamond shapes when cool.
