Instructions

  1. Beat together the eggs and sugar until lemon-colored. Add the butter, flour, and almond extract; mix well.
  2. Spread the batter in an even layer on a buttered 13x9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with sliced amonds if you wish; otherwise leave the top as is.
  3. Bake at 325° for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Remove pan from the oven and dust the top with a light sprinkling of confectioner's sugar, if you wish. Leave cookies in the pan to cool completely.
  5. When cooled, cut into bars. (I usually cut 9 vertical rows and 4 horizontal rows, to get 36 bar cookies.).
