Mocha Almond Bars
I got this cookie recipe from an old Land O' Lakes Cookie Cookbook. I love it b/c it's easy and the cookeis are so good. I make them a lot when I am asked to take cookies to a lecture or program. Everyone loves them and I am often asked for the recipe.
MOCHA ALMOND BARS
Bar Ingredients:
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
• 1 cup sliced almonds
Glaze Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all bar ingredients except almonds in small mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Stir in almonds by hand.
Press dough onto bottom of greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar and almond extract in small bowl. Gradually add enough milk for desired glazing consistency. Drizzle over warm bars. Cool completely. Cut into bars.
These freeze beautifully. I freeze them on a cookie sheet (after they are cut) and then put them vacuum seal them in bags and pop them in the freezer.
