1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs

Filling
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

2. In large bowl, stir base ingredients until soft dough forms. Press half of dough in bottom of pan.

3. Spread pie filling over dough. Drop remaining dough by teaspoonfuls over filling.

4. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes.

5. In small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth. If necessary, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over warm bars. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.
