Ingredients :
2/3 cup butter
1 tablespoon almond extract
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons decorative sugar crystals |
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter with extract. Add brown sugar gradually, creaming until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add in thirds to creamed mixture, blending after each addition. Turn onto a greased 13 x 9 x 1-inch jellyroll pan and spread evenly to edges.
Sprinkle a mixture of almonds, cinnamon, and 1/2 of the decorative sugar crystals over the batter.
Bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown. Use the remaining sprinkles when it comes out of the oven.
Tip: Make a double batch. Bake in a larger jelly roll pan and enjoy some fresh out of the oven and later with guests. |
