Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixer bowl beat butter or margarine till softened. Add sugar and beat till fluffy. Add egg and almond extract and beat well. Add flour mixture and beat till well mixed. Divide dough into fourths. Form each into a 12-inch roll. Place two rolls 4 to 5 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten till 3 inches wide. Repeat with remaining rolls. Brush flattened rolls with milk and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 325°F for 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. While cookies are still warm, cut them crosswise at a diagonal into 1-inch strips with a sharp knife. Cool on wire rack. Drizzle with almond icing. ALMOND ICING: Stir together 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, and enough milk (3 to 4 teaspoons) to make icing of drizzling consistency.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help prevent the bars from crumbling when you cut them.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars; if it comes out clean, they're done.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
