Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup eggnog
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup eggnog
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- pinch of nutmeg (garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray. (I like to use parchment & leave extra on the sides overhand to easily pull out.) Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a bowl combine your wet ingredients: butter, brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy – make sure it is about 2-3 minutes long mixing. Then add your egg, vanilla and egg nog and mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Whisk until mixed well. Add dry ingredients to your wet ingredients just until you do not see flour streaks anymore.
- Press your cookie dough into the prepared 8×8 baking dish. My tip: spray a ziploc bag with non-stick spray and press it down evenly.
- Bake in oven for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean from the center.
- While these cool, make your frosting by beating all frosting ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- Once your bars are completely cooled, frost evenly and sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on top. I use a small sifter so that the larger bits of nutmeg are not added. Then slice & serve!
