Uses everyday ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen
Ready for the oven in just minutes no fussy steps
Soft bars with a silky tangy frosting that tastes like holiday eggnog
The aroma while these bake fills your kitchen with instant coziness
My family requests these every December and I love how easily they transform a simple sheet pan into something so special I first made these for a cookie swap and everyone grabbed seconds

High in holiday flavor but super low on effort
Cream cheese frosting adds glorious tang and creaminess
Bars stay moist for days and are easy to pack for parties
My favorite part is swirling the eggnog spice through the frosting The smell of nutmeg brings back memories of late night baking with my sister when we sang along to holiday tunes and licked the bowl clean

Let the bars cool fully before spreading on the frosting or it will melt
Use full fat cream cheese for the creamiest smoothest frosting
A sprinkle of extra spice on top gives these bars a bakery style look and makes them extra inviting
