ALMOND BARS



Almond Bars image

I have been baking these cookies for about 15 years now; I get so many requests for them during the holidays I can hardly keep up with the demand! I like to make the rolls bigger than the recommended 12x3-inch; this way I get bigger cookies, but you can do whatever you like. Make sure to use plenty of almonds to top them off.

Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Milk, for brushing
1/2 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped (or as many as you need)
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 to 4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a mixer beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and almond extract and beat well. Slowly add flour mixture and beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Turn the dough onto a clean work surface, and, with a sharp knife, divide the dough into 4 even pieces. Roll each piece into a 12 by 3-inch roll (or whatever size you like).
  • Place 2 rolls on an ungreased cookie sheet, 4 inches apart. Repeat with remaining rolls. Brush rolls with milk and sprinkle with almonds. Bake until edges are lightly browned, about 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. While cookies are still warm cut them crosswise at a diagonal into 1-inch strips. Cool on a wire rack.
  • For the glaze:
  • In a small bowl, mix the sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over almond cookies. Let sit until glaze is set, about 15 minutes.

ALMOND BARS

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 treat for any cookie exchange or potluck gathering.

Time 45m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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)

Steps:

  • 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.).
