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 cookie for any cookie exchange or potluck gathering.
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.
3
Bake at 325° for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4
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.
5
When cooled, cut into bars. (I usually cut 9 vertical rows and 4 horizontal rows, to get 36 bar cookies.).
Wow. Just Wow. These are wonderfully soft and chewy and SO full of almond flavor. I took them to work with me and they were devoured in no time flat! My coworkers have already requested that I put these lovely little bars in my regular rotation. Made For Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.
