    White Chocolate Strawberry Squares

    Source of Recipe

    Frozen Assets

    List of Ingredients

    1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
    1 3/4 cups white chocolate chips (morsels)
    2 large eggs
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tsp almond extract
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup strawberry preserves or jam (see Tip)
    1/3 cup sliced natural almonds

    Recipe

    1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-in.-square pan with foil, letting it extend 2
    in. above pan on opposite sides. Coat with nonstick spray.
    2. Melt butter and 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over
    low heat (mixture may look curdled).
    3. Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with mixer on medium-high speed until
    lemon colored. Stir in white chip mixture and extract until combined, then the
    flour just until blended. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup batter. Spread remaining
    batter in prepared pan.
    4. Bake 20 minutes or until light golden. Gently spread preserves evenly over
    crust. Spoon dollops of reserved batter over top; sprinkle with almonds.
    5. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until lightly browned. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
    6. Lift by foil ends to a cutting board. Melt remaining 1/4 cup white
    chocolate chips as pkg directs. Scrape into a small sturdy plastic ziptop bag. Snip
    off tip of a corner and drizzle top with back-and-forth lines. Let set. Cut in
    36 squares; remove from foil.
    Tip:
    Raspberry preserves or jam can be substituted.
    Storage Tip: Refrigerate airtight up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.
    Note: These were like candy, more than cookies. I cut mine into 1" squares,
    as though they were fudge. They were SUCH a hit. Everyone asked for the recipe.
