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! Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. PASTRY.
2. Put flour and sugar into mixing bowl.
3. Cut butter into dry ingredients. I use a pastry cutter.
4. Beat egg yolk with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
5. Pour into flour/butter mixture, whisking with fork.
6. Press into 8 square pan forming a slight rim. Bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes.
7. TOPPING.
8. Heat butter and milk together.
9. Add sugar, honey, almonds, stirring to coat evenly.
10. 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!
