Lemon Shortbread Squares

Internet


List of Ingredients




1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 cup plus 2 T butter -- at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped almonds


Recipe



Preheat oven to 325. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except almonds. Beat until dough is smooth, comes clean from the side of the bowl, and gathers into a ball. With lightly floured fingers, press dough evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch-square ungreased baking pan. Sprinkle almonds on top and press gently into dough. Using a sharp knife, score into 16 small squares and prick each square twice with a fork. Bake until dough is barely colored and almonds are lightly toasted, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then cut squares all the way through. Cool completely in pan. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
