  • 2 cups butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 package almond paste
  • 2 tsp almond extract

Icing

  • 2 cups powdered sifted
  • 6-8 tsp milk
  • 4 tsp corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or almond extract

Instructions
 

Dough

  • Cream together butter and sugar.
  • Add eggs and flour.
  • Blend in almond paste and almond extract.
  • Put in jelly roll pan and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
  • Frost with icing. Cut into small squares.
  • Note: Almond paste is easier to work with if slightly warmed in microwave. Break into small pieces and add to batter.

Icing

  • Sift powdered sugar into a medium bowl.

  • Stir vigorously until icing is smooth.
  • If needed, add additional milk to thin icing more.
