Ingredients
For The Cookie Bars
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup eggnog
For the Frosting
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup eggnog
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and eggnog yogurt until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center might still be slightly soft, but it will set as it cools.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, whisk together powdered sugar, 1/4 cup eggnog milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg until smooth and creamy.
- Once the bars are cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
- Optionally, sprinkle a bit of extra nutmeg on top of the frosting for extra flavor.
- Allow the frosting to set before cutting the bars into squares.
