Categories     Cookies     Christmas     Kid-Friendly     Low Cal     Almond     Low Cholesterol     Christmas Eve     Jam or Jelly     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups sliced almonds
1 7-ounce tube almond paste, lightly crumbled
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup egg whites (about 2 large)
Powdered sugar
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
Ingredient info: Tubes of almond paste are available in the baking aisle of most supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.

Steps:

  • Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Place almonds in center of third (unlined) rimmed baking sheet, forming 1/4-inch-thick layer.
  • Finely grind almond paste, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon in processor. Add egg whites; process until well blended. Transfer dough to large resealable plastic bag. Press dough down into 1 corner of bag. Using scissors, snip off corner, leaving 1/2-inch opening. Working in batches, squeeze dough from bag in 2 1/2-inch-long strips atop almonds on sheet. Sprinkle some of loose almonds on sheet over strips; carefully roll strips in almonds to coat lightly (dough will be soft and sticky). Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets, spacing apart.
  • Bake cookies until light golden brown, reversing position of sheets halfway through baking, about 12 minutes. Let cookies stand on sheets 5 minutes; transfer to rack. Sift powdered sugar over cookies.
  • Simmer jam in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until jam is bubbling thickly, about 30 seconds. Cool.
  • Spread 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon jam over bottom of 1 cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down. Transfer sandwich to plate. Repeat with remaining cookies and jam. DO AHEAD: can be made 3 weeks ahead. Store airtight in freezer. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As always, gather and measure all your ingredients before you start. This will help ensure that you don't miss anything and that the process goes smoothly.
  • Almond paste: If you can't find almond paste in your grocery store, you can make your own by grinding blanched almonds with a little bit of sugar and oil until it forms a smooth paste.
  • Raspberry filling: To make the raspberry filling, you can use fresh or frozen raspberries. If using frozen, thaw them before using. You can also add a little bit of sugar to the filling to taste.
  • Baking: Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
  • Storing: The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These chewy-chewy raspberry almond bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a simple shortbread crust, a sweet and tangy raspberry filling, and a crunchy almond topping. The bars are baked until golden brown and then cut into squares.
