Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 Tablespoons milk (any variety)
1 cup sliced almonds
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 Tablespoons milk (any variety)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously butter (or use baking spray) on a half sheet pan (approximatedly 18"x13"). Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in eggs and almond extract. Beat until combined. Slowly add in flour mixture. Mixing until well blended.
  • Press this dough into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Use your fingers or a pastry roller to smooth the top of the dough.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the milk to the top of the dough (you may not need to use all of it). Sprinkle with sliced almonds, pressing them lightly into the dough.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes until done. You don't want to brown these bars.
  • Cool for about 5 minutes, then cut them with a knife into bars. If they are too soft to cut, allow to cool a little bit more. Carefully remove them to a wire rack to continue cooling.
  • Once cooled, you can make your glaze by whisking the sugar with the almond extract and milk. Drizzle over the bars and allow to set.
  • Enjoy!
