Consiglia's Almond Bars image

My friend Connie has been making these for years at Christmastime. I always wished I could make cookies this delicious, so I finally asked her for the recipe (DUH!!), and now I know that these are as easy to make as they are delicious!

Time 1h

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1 egg yolk, beaten
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • PASTRY.
  • Put flour and sugar into mixing bowl.
  • Cut butter into dry ingredients. I use a pastry cutter.
  • Beat egg yolk with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • Pour into flour/butter mixture, whisking with fork.
  • Press into 8" square pan forming a slight rim. Bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes.
  • TOPPING.
  • Heat butter and milk together.
  • Add sugar, honey, almonds, stirring to coat evenly.
  • Spread over warm pastry. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until lightly brown. Cool for 10 minutes and then cut into squares. Do not let it cool completely, or cutting will become difficult!
