EGGNOG DREAM BARS You might know this crisp, gooey, layered bar of chocolate chips, walnuts, and
coconut by a different name (magic bar, seven-layer bar, Hello Dolly bar), but whatever you call it, this treat was
made to be customized. Jessie updates her version for the holidays with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and rum to play
off eggnog. “The flavors intensify overnight, so they taste even better the next day—if you can wait,” she says.
HOLIDAY BAKING
RETRO
REDO
“A tried-and-true
cookie recipe is a
springboard for
twisting and
tweaking,” says Jessie
Sheehan, author of
The Vintage Baker,
who has a knack for
reimagining
old-fashioned treats.
This holiday, she
nudges a few from
the Christmas cookie
hall of fame in a
modern direction with
spices, nuts, and
sprinkles for a
collection of treats
that will remind you of
the ones you grew up
with—only better.

These bars are
super rich, so we
sliced them into
slivers, but we
won’t judge if you
go back for two
(or three).
