Ingredients
  • Cookie Bars:
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons rum extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Frosting:
  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons rum extract
  • 3-4 Tablespoons eggnog
  • PEEPS® Marshmallow Trees and PEEPS® Marshmallow Snowmen
  • sprinkles, if desired for decoration
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 9x13 baking dish with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in egg and rum extract and whip until fluffy. Scrape the sides and mix again. Stir in remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  3. Spread dough into prepared pan and press down evenly. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  4. To make the frosting, beat all ingredients together until smooth and fluffy. Start by adding 3 tablespoons eggnog and add more until frosting is the desired consistency. Spread over cooled cookie bars and add sprinkles if desired. Cut into bars and place a PEEPS® Marshmallow on each square.
