Eggnog squares

Eggnog squares do taste a lot like eggnog, but are completely homemade! These are fantastic holiday treats, and go well with hot chocolate or other rich sweets for a Yuletide dessert. They also are easily wrapped (individually, if possible) for a unique gift!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
  
• 2/3 cup butter
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  
• 1/2 cup flaked coconut

Directions:

Grease 13x9x2 pan. Cook and stir sugar and butter in a medium saucepan at medium heat until melted. Cook and stir 2 minutes more after melted. Cool for 10 minutes. Stir in eggs one at a time. Then stir in vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder, and nutmeg. Stir in coconut. Spread into pan. Bake at 350ºF for 25-30 minutes. Cool in pan.

NOTE: I prefer to make it without the coconut as coconut is the devil, and it comes out fine if you leave it out. Also I myself greased AND floured the pan because the batter is exceedingly sticky.
