Christmas Cookies & Bars Desserts

Eggnog Cookie Bars

These are everything you love about Eggnog…in cookie form!

My son is the biggest fan of eggnog. He could drink a glass everyday if we had it in the house. I love it too-but I don’t think anyone could love it as much as he does. I figured I would help him really stretch out his enjoyment of eggnog by making a delicious cookie bar for him to eat all season long. These cookies are cut into bars and drizzled with a delicious nutmeg speckled icing that really brings the cookie to its full eggnog potential. I mean, if you are not going to go all out, why bother at all? Am I right?

These chewy, slightly fudgy (no chocolate but honestly it is the word that really describes these!) eggnog bars will satisfy that eggnog craving all season long. Enjoy with … well, what else? A cold glass of eggnog of course!
