  • 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 T. confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped roasted, unsalted almonds
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • Filling
  • 1 cup seedless raspberry jam, preferable home made
  • Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • Icing
  • 3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 to 2 T. half-and-half (10 percent) cream or milk
  • 1/8 tsp. almond extract

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, and grease with unsalted butter or nonstick vegetable spray.
  3. Crust: In a bowl, whisk together flour, confectioner’s sugar and baking powder until well combined.
  4. Stir in almonds.
  5. Using a pastry blender, fork or your fingers, cut in butter until evenly combined and mixture resembles coarse crumbs and starts to come together.
  6. Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, press crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  7. Filling: Stir raspberry jam to loosen it. Spread jam evenly over crust.
  8. Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together flour and granulated sugar until well blended.
  9. Stir in almond extract.
  10. Using a fork or your fingers, work in butter until evenly combined and mixture resembles coarse crumbs and starts to come together.
  11. Crumble topping over top of jam.
  12. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 24 minutes or until lightly golden brown around edges.
  13. Let cool completely in baking pan on a wire rack.
  14. Using foil extensions, lift cooled squares from pan and place on a cutting board.
  15. Fold down edges of foil away from sides.
  16. If foil sticks, gently run knife blade between squares and foil to loosen.
  17. Icing: In a small bowl, combine confectioner’s sugar, 1 tablespoon of the cream and the almond extract.
  18. Using a small whisk or a fork, blend until icing is smooth and thin enough to drizzle from a fork.
  19. Add more cream as needed to achieve the right consistency.
  20. Drizzle icing over cooled squares.
  21. Let stand 20 minutes or until the icing is set.
  22. Using a long serrated knife, cut into 11⁄2-inch squares.
  23. Makes 36 squares.
  24. Tip: Let icing set completely, then store squares between layers of wax paper in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to five days.
