Category: Bars
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

Cookie Base
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 egg

Filling
1 (8 oz) can or 1 (7 oz) pkg almond paste, crumbled into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Topping
2 oz white chocolate baking bar, coarsely chopped (1/3 cup)
2 tbsp shortening
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Heat oven to 350. In large bowl, stir cookie base ingredients until soft dough forms. Spread in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat almond paste, sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Add 2 eggs; beat until well blended (mixture may be slightly lumpy).

Spread almond paste mixture over partially baked base. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup almonds. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until filling is set (filling will puff up during baking). Cool completely, about 1 hour.

In 1-quart heavy saucepan, melt white chocolate and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Pour and spread over cooled bars. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds. Let stand about 30 minutes or until topping is set. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.
