My friend, Dee Fitzsimmons, served this to lucky visitors when her home was featured in the Kalamazoo Parade of Homes. Cut into bite-size squares, it is a tasty alternative to a cookie. I just love this great recipe. In fact, I might just make a batch right now!
Dee's Almond Bars
1 cup butter
1 can almond paste (I like to use Solo brand Almond Cake & Pastry Filling)
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 c flour
Use a 13 by 9 pan and bake at 300 degrees for 35-45 minutes (depending on the heat from your oven; for me, it is closer to 60 min. an inserted toothpick should come out clean).
While baking, mix
powdered sugar
almond extract
a small amount of milk
I GUESS ON
AMOUNTS TO MAKE IT QUITE RUNNY, USING just a tiny bit of extract.
While bars still warm, drizzle over the top and sprinkle with nuts if
desired (almond slivers)
It gets pretty firm when cool so I precut it (in bigger bar shapes usually)
It freezes well too, so enjoy!!!
