ALMOND RASPBERRY MERINGUE BARS
This happens to be my husbands favorite bar cookie. He requests that I make it every Christmas. He loves it with the Raspberry jam. I found this recipe in 1978 on the back of a bag of Gold Medal flour. It has been a hit with him ever since.

Beat in one egg and the almond extract. Mix in the flour and stir until well blended. Bake 20-25 , or until golden. Cool slightly, and spread the raspberry preserves over the crust.

- 3. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until firm. Let cool on wire rack. Lift foil from pan and cut bars with a sharp knife.
Tips:
- To ensure a crispy meringue topping, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping, as they will reach their full volume and hold stiff peaks more easily.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, use fresh raspberries instead of frozen or thawed ones.
- If you don't have a pastry bag or piping tip, you can simply spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared crust.
- To prevent the meringue from browning too much, keep an eye on it while it's baking and remove it from the oven as soon as it reaches a light golden color.
- For a decadent treat, serve the raspberry meringue bars with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
