From "The Joy Of Cookies" by Sharon Tyler Herbst. This recipe reads "These buttery, crumbly, nut-coated cookies are the perfect accompaniment for coffee." Passive time includes 15 minutes cooling time in the pan, but there is an additional cooling period after that as well.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, separated
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped almonds

Steps:

Preheat oven to 275 degress farenheit. Lightly grease a 10 x 15-inch jelly-roll pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and salt together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and both extracts. Stir in cardamom, then flour, 1/2 c at a time, blending after each addition.
Use a rubber spatula to spread dough evenly over bottom of prepared pan, or dampen your fingers with water and pat dough into place.
In a small bowl, lightly whisk egg white until frothy. Pour over dough; spread evenly with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle nuts over dough and press lightly into surface with the back of a spoon.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown. Immediately cut into 40 (1 x 3 3/4-inch) fingers with a sharp knife while the bars are still warm. You can get 40 fingers by cutting 10 strips one way and 4 the other.
Cool 15 minutes in pan on rack. Carefully remove from pan with a metal spatula; cookies are very fragile. Cool completely on racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They're really good! The almond butter filling is creamy and flavorful, and the chocolate coating is perfect.

I've made these almond butter fingers several times now and they're always a favorite. They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love the combination of the almond butter and the chocolate.
