Scandinavian Almond Bars
Scandinavian Almond Bars
1 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Milk
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and almond extract. Beat well. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and add to butter/egg mixture. Divide dough into fourths. Form each into a 12 inch roll. Place two rolls 4 to 5 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten to about 3 inches wide. Repeat with remaining rolls. Brush flattened rolls with milk and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 325 for 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. While cookies are still warm, cut crosswise at a diagonal into 1 inch strips. Cool and drizzle with almond icing (recipe below).
