Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup margarine
2 ¼ cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups eggnog
1 ½ cups mashed bananas
½ cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.

The nuts in these cookies can be ground or finely chopped. For a different twist try using 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds in place of the nuts.
