List of Ingredients




Cookie Base
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 oz cream cheese, softened
4 1/2 teaspoons frozen (thawed) lemonade concentrate
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg

Filling
2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup lemon curd (from 10 to 12-oz jar)
2 cups frozen (thawed) whipped topping or 2 cups sweetened whipped cream

Topping
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
24 fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) raspberries

Recipe



1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.

2. In large bowl, stir cookie base ingredients until soft dough forms. Spread dough in bottom of pan.
3. Bake 20 to 23 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

4. Spread raspberry jam over cooled base. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and lemon curd with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Drop lemon mixture by teaspoonfuls over jam layer; spread gently and evenly over jam.

5. Sprinkle toasted almonds over top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. To serve, top each bar with 1 raspberry, gently pressing into lemon mixture. Store covered in refrigerator.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Bake 22 to 25 minutes.

Variation:
Cut bars into larger dessert-sized servings and serve with a fork.

Notes:
To toast almonds, bake in ungreased shallow pan in 350°F oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
