Buttery Almond Tiles

Buttery Almond Tiles

Base:
2 1/2 cup Flour
1 TBL Baking Powder
3/4 tea Salt (omit if using salted butter)
1 1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter
2 Eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Blend in the butter and eggs. This will make a dry dough that you press into a 9" x 13" pan that has been lined with non-stick foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Topping:
3/4 cup Almonds, sliced
1/2 cup Butter
3/4 cup Sugar
2 TBL Flour
2 TBL Milk
1 TBL Almond Extract
1 tea Vanilla Extract

Place the sliced almonds, butter, sugar, flour and milk in a sauce pan on medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Next, carefully add in te almond and vanilla extracts, stirring gently to combine. Pour over the cookies once they have been removed from the oven. Spread out evenly and broil for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes, or until bubbly.
