Here are two of my family's favorites:
Almond Bars
Crust: 1 cup butter, 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Mix well and
pat into even layer in a 9 x 13 pan. Bake crust at 350 degrees for 20 to
25 minutes.
Filling: 8 oz cream cheese, softened, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp almond
extract. Beat together well and pour over crust while it is still hot.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes (350 degrees). Cool.
Frosting: 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1 1/2 tablespoon milk,
1 tsp almond extract. Whisk together and spread evenly on baked, cooled
cookies. Cut into bars - makes 24 to 36 bars.
Praline Cookies
1 1/2 cup flour 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup solid shortening 1 tsp valilla
1 egg 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Brown Sugar Glaze:
2 Tablespoons butter 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 - 2 1/2 Tbsp milk 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients
except pecans and glaze. Blend at medium speed to form s stiff dough.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 13 minutes
until deep golden brown. Cool. Top each cookie with 1/2 tsp pecans. In
small saucepan, melt butter, stir in brown sugar and milk. Add powdered
sugar; blend to make a glazing consistency. Drizzle glase over pecans.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
