2 Cups Granulated sugar
2 Cups All-purpose flour

2 ½ Tsp Almond extract

Frosting
¼ Cup Salted butter (room temperature)
1 Cup Powdered sugar
¼ Tsp Almond extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees (F) and use butter to grease a 13 x 9 baking pan.

    extract; mix well.
  3. Spread the batter in an even layer on a buttered 13×9-inch baking pan.

    preparing the icing.

    extract until smooth. About 1 minute.
  7. Spread the icing evenly over the top of the cooled almond bar and place back into the
    refrigerator to set. About 30 minutes. (OPTIONAL) Top with thinly sliced almonds before placing
    back into the refrigerator to set.
