Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- ⅔ cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 2½ tablespoons eggnog
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 13x9 pan with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, cook sugar and butter, stirring, until butter is melted. Remove from heat and cool slightly so your eggs don't cook in the next step.
- Stir eggs and vanilla into the sugar mixture.
- Add flour, baking powder, and nutmeg; stir to combine. Stir in nuts.
- Spread the dough in the prepared pan. Mixture will be thick.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the pan and tops is lightly browned.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars or diamond shapes when cool.
- In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of eggnog. Add additional eggnog, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary to make the glaze a piping consistency. Pipe icing over bars. You can spoon the mixture into a Ziploc bag and snip off the corner to make it easier. Let drizzle set.
