This was a unique, tasty treat! The dough was a little difficult to work with, as it was quite sticky and difficult to spread. I thinned the glaze with more eggnog so it would be a spreading consistency and then iced the cool bars. A big hit! Thanks for sharing this new Christmas cookie tradition. Made for PRMR Tag Game. -
These will make my Holiday baking tray for sure! -
Fabulous - like a fudgy brownie ! We cannot get egg nog here so I subbed with sour cream but maybe next time I will omit the glaze. These bars are totally addictive !! -
These are delicious! I love macadamia nuts so I knew this had to be good. I just drizzled the glaze over the bars instead of piping it. Thanks for sharing! -
Almost decided to keep these little goodies all to myself, but then remembered my plan to include them in a cookie sale I was holding, so . . . Very different from what I sometimes make ~ The macadamia nuts & the eggnog do it for me ~ so will be making these again during the winder holidays!
