Number Of Ingredients 14

BAR COOKIE:
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, at room temperature is easiest
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Milk
1/2 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped
ALMOND ICING:
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
and enough milk (3 to 4 teaspoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixer bowl beat butter or margarine till softened. Add sugar and beat till fluffy. Add egg and almond extract and beat well. Add flour mixture and beat till well mixed. Divide dough into fourths. Form each into a 12-inch roll. Place two rolls 4 to 5 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten till 3 inches wide. Repeat with remaining rolls. Brush flattened rolls with milk and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 325°F for 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. While cookies are still warm, cut them crosswise at a diagonal into 1-inch strips with a sharp knife. Cool on wire rack. Drizzle with almond icing. ALMOND ICING: Stir together 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, and enough milk (3 to 4 teaspoons) to make icing of drizzling consistency.

I'm allergic to almonds. Can I substitute another nut in the filling?

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not usually a fan of almond desserts, but these bars are an exception. They're so light and fluffy, and the almond flavor is just right.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more almond extract to the filling. Other than that, it's perfect!

I've been making this recipe for years, and it never fails to impress. The almond filling is so rich and flavorful, and the pastry is flaky and buttery.
