Almond Bars
My go-to pot lock dessert- unique and so flavorful. They are always a huge hit!
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter 1 cup
- 2 cups sugar (plus 2-3 tablespoons)
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp pure OR imitation almond extract
- 1/4-1/2 cup slivered almondsMelt butter ( I use the microwave) and add the sugar and beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
Instructions
- Melt butter ( I use the microwave) and add the sugar and beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Add 1 egg at a time, and beat with hand mixer until all are fully mixed.
- Add 1 cup of sifted flour at a time and slowly beat until well mixed.
- Add salt and almond extract (imitation seems to be more flavorful and cheaper).
- Spray a baking dish (I use a 9x9 brownie dish) and spread batter. Place slivered almonds on the top and then sprinkle extra sugar all over the top.
- Cook for 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.
