Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h15m

Yield 40 bars, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, separated
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degress farenheit. Lightly grease a 10 x 15-inch jelly-roll pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and salt together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and both extracts. Stir in cardamom, then flour, 1/2 c at a time, blending after each addition.
  • Use a rubber spatula to spread dough evenly over bottom of prepared pan, or dampen your fingers with water and pat dough into place.
  • In a small bowl, lightly whisk egg white until frothy. Pour over dough; spread evenly with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle nuts over dough and press lightly into surface with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown. Immediately cut into 40 (1 x 3 3/4-inch) fingers with a sharp knife while the bars are still warm. You can get 40 fingers by cutting 10 strips one way and 4 the other.
