Chocolate Chip Eggnog Blondies

Classic blondies go Christmas in this dense cake, brownie-type square.

Ingredients:

1  cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup butter, at room temperature

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup eggnog

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

3 tbsps red and green sprinkles

Whisk the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon together. In another bowl cream the butter and brown sugar together, then add the egg and eggnog. Now add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in the walnuts, chocolate chips and 2 tbsps of sprinkles.

Spoon the batter into a greased 8 X 8" baking pan and top with the remaining 1 tbsp of sprinkles. Bake at 350°F for 30-34 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean and the cake has come away from the sides of the pan.

Cool in pan on rack before removing to cut.

Some people like the center squares with no crispy edges.

If you are one of those people you can trim off the edges so that all the squares are like center squares. But save the cutoffs, they are great taste testers!
