• Crust
• 2 C. All Purpose Flour
• 1/4 C. Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 C. Softened Butter
• Filling
• 1/3 C. Softened Butter
• 3/4 C. Sugar

• 1 tsp. Almond Extract
• Icing
• 1 C. Powdered Sugar
• 2-3 Tbs. Milk

1. Preheat oven 375.
2. In a bowl of a stand mixer or hand held mixer, beat the crust ingredients together until mixture is crumbly. Press into a 13x9" pan, working the dough a little up the sides. Bake 20 minutes until pale golden.
3. For the filling, using the same bowl used to cream together the crust, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until light and fluffy. Scrap the sides of the bowl. Mix in the ground almonds and extract.
4. Spread filling over the baked crust. Bake another 10-15 minutes until the filling is firm and set. Remove from oven and cool.
5. Mix the Icing ingredients, you want the icing to be stiff, but able to drizzle, but not too runny.
6. Drizzle with the spoon over the cooled bars. Let icing set up, about 30 minutes. Cut bars about 1x2 inches.
