  • Combine butter, flour, and powdered sugar; beat until well blended.
  • Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, sugar, and almond extract. Beat until well blended.
  • Spread on top of the crust and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
FROSTING:
  • Combine butter, powdered sugar, and a small amount of milk; beat until smooth.
  • Add more milk if frosting is too thick to spread easily. If it is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. Add almond extract.
  • Spread on top of bars and then sprinkle with sliced almonds.
The smooth texture of the cream cheese and the almond flavoring are a rich combination that goes perfect with the sweet crust. The almonds on top add their own texture and flavor. Try Chocolate Cream Cheese Bars for another great cream cheese recipe.

"I made these today, following the recipe exactly. If I make them again I will use only half as much almond extract as the recipe calls for. As it is, the almond taste is overwhelmingly strong. The bars are pretty and have a nice combination of textures, but I'd really prefer a more subtle almond flavor."
