Eggnog Snickerdoodle Blondies

Snickerdoodles are great but have you had eggnog snickerdoodle blondies? Perfectly dressed up for the holidays or just to enjoy all winter long.

It is post PhD graduation week, and a short week at that with only 3 days left before I no longer have a “work” to go to. I’ll be whisked away for the holidays and return for just one last month in Memphis before packing up and moving in with family.

Hopefully with the new year will come responses to all the jobs I have applied to but have yet to hear from. I am really excited/anxious to see where I end up next!

But on to these bars. After I became addicted to the snickerdoodle blondies that Alex sent me last month, I decided to make my own with eggnog in order to continue my eggnog streak.

These bars turned out to be just as magical as the traditional version with some added holiday spirit, making them a great treat to make for your upcoming holiday parties (or a way to use up any leftover eggnog).

Speaking of, here are some other great recipes that use up eggnog:

• Dark Chocolate Chunk Eggnog Cookies
• Eggnog Crème Brûlée with Sugared Cranberries
• Eggnog French Toast
• Eggnog Hot Chocolate Pound Cake
• Eggnog Oreo Ice Cream
• Overnight, Slow Cooker Eggnog Cranberry Steel Cut Oats
