5 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon almond extract
¼ teaspoon salt
4 cups confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 13x18-inch baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears for the best flavor. If your pears are not ripe, you can roast them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft.
  • Be sure to brown the butter until it is a deep golden brown color. This will give the cookies a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These brown butter pear sugar cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. The combination of sweet pears, rich brown butter, and crunchy sugar cookies is irresistible. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give these cookie bars a try.
