Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10 by 15 by 1 inch jelly roll pan. For crust: mix together 2 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

For topping: combine remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat together remaining 3/4 cup butter, sugar and brown sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time and beat well. Stir in chopped almonds. Spread evenly over cooled crust. Bake 1/2 hour. Cool completely on wire rack. Serve cut into bars.
