Today's recipe is yet another one I got from Pinterest. The original source is this food.com recipe. Can you tell I love Pinterest??
This recipe is really awesome not just because I am Scandinavian, but because it makes a TON of really delicious cookies. If you love almonds and cookies that aren't super sweet than this is a recipe for you!
Ingredients
Bars
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
milk
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3-4 teaspoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
milk
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3-4 teaspoons milk
Directions
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl beat the butter till softened. Add the sugar and beat till fluffy. Add the egg and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract and beat well. Add the flour mixture and beat till well mixed.
Divide the dough into fourths, form each portion into a 12 inch roll. Place 2 of the rolls 4 to 5-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each roll till it is about 3 inches wide. Repeat with the remaining rolls. Brush each flattened roll with milk and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of almonds each.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or till edges are lightly brown.
While still warm, cut crosswise on the diagonal into 1 inch strips. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Stir together the powdered sugar, the almond extract and enough of the milk to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the icing over the cool bars.
Happy Baking and Merry Christmas!
