Malzemeler

• 1 1/4 Cups All-purpose Flour, 1/2 Cup Almond Meal, 1/2 Teaspoon Salt, 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 3/4 Cup (1 1/2 Sticks or 6 Ounces) Softened Unsalted Butter, 1 Cup Sugar, 2 Large Egg Yolks, 1 Teaspoon Almond Extract, 2/3 Cup Low Sugar Strawberry Jam, 1 Cup Sliced Almonds

Hazırlanışı

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square pan with two strips of parchment paper crossways allowing the paper to hang over the sides, then spray the pan with cooking spray. In one bowl, mix together the flours, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the almond extract and egg yolks and beat until blended. Reduce the speed to slow, then slowly add the flour mixture just until blended. Take 2/3 of the mixture and press it into the bottom of the pan. Spread the jam evenly over the dough, then crumble the remaining dough dropping it on top of the jam layer to cover. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top, then bake for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely in the pan, then run a knife around the sides. Using the parchment paper, lift the bars out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 24 bars, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
