ALMOND BARS

I make these every Christmas for the cookie tray that I always have well stocked for our family's annual Christmas party. This is such a simple recipe with a few common ingredients that most people always have on hand in their kitchen pantry. And it produces such a wonderful bar cookie with a delectible almond taste. It's the perfect treat for any cookie exchange or potluck gathering.

Steps:

  • Beat together the eggs and sugar until lemon-colored. Add the butter, flour, and almond extract; mix well.
  • Spread the batter in an even layer on a buttered 13x9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with sliced amonds if you wish; otherwise leave the top as is.
  • Bake at 325° for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove pan from the oven and dust the top with a light sprinkling of confectioner's sugar, if you wish. Leave cookies in the pan to cool completely.
  • When cooled, cut into bars. (I usually cut 9 vertical rows and 4 horizontal rows, to get 36 bar cookies.).

1 cup butter, melted (no substitutes)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 cup cups sliced almonds (increase or decrease as desired)

ALMOND BARS

"This is one of my favorite recipes for last-minute school bake sales," writes Sandy Kerrison from her home in Lockport, New York. "The cake-like snacks are the first items to go...that is, if they're not grabbed by a teacher first. I also include them in Christmas cookie gift baskets."
