Almond Bars
Ready In: 45 mins
Serves: 36
Yields: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter, melted (no substitutes)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 cup cups sliced almonds (increase or decrease as desired)
- 1⁄2 cup confectioners' sugar (optional)
Directions
- 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.
- Bake at 325° for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 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.
- When cooled, cut into bars. (I usually cut 9 vertical rows and 4 horizontal rows, to get 36 bar cookies.).
