Eggnog Bread

I’ve been putting my Kitchenaid mixer throughquite a workout these past few days so that we’ll have plenty of cookies to munch on and enjoy during our Christmas break!

Fresh out of the oven are these Ricotta Cheese Holiday Cookies. I also made Mexican Wedding Cookies (my favorite), Chocolate Chip Peppermint Cookies, and these Butter Brickle Cookies.

We also have a neighborhoodholiday gathering that we goto every year and I’m in charge of bringing a dessertso I want to make sure tohave plenty topack up!

Eggnog quick bread

Are you an eggnog fan? We buy it every year, but I don’t drink milk at all (just preference), so it’s not that appealing to me. I do like the flavor and I’ll have a sip or two, but that’s about it.

Alan is the one that enjoys it the most or maybe it’s the brandy that he adds that he likes best!

We usually end up with a lot leftover, so instead of tossing it out adding itto baked goodssounds likebetter plan to me!

This recipe doesn’t call for any proofing time. Mix the ingredients, bake, cool and add the glaze.
