• Gently press the dough into the bottom of your 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 17-20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and toothpick entered in the center is clean. Let completely cool and frost.

SPRING SUGAR COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
• Press cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove crust and let cool, about 5 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Spread almonds onto a baking sheet.
• Toast in the preheated oven until almonds start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool briefly and chop into desired size.
• Mix apricot preserves, peach preserves, strawberry preserves, and honey together in a bowl. Spread over the cookie dough in the pan. Spread almonds lightly over preserves.
• Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Drizzle melted chocolate over almonds. Let chocolate set, about 5 minutes. Cut into bars.

SUGAR COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Bars: In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Mix in vanilla and almond extract.
• In a separate bowl whisk together flour, salt & baking soda. Add to wet mixture and mix just until combined.
• Spread on a greased, rimmed baking sheet (use a 13 x 18 pan). The dough will be just like cookie dough- heavy & sticky- so it's best to spray your hands with a little nonstick spray and use them to help mold the dough into the pan.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10 mins - 15 mins, until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean. (I like to slightly under cook mine. I take them out at 10 minutes exactly. They are not brown at all, but I think that they are better this way.).
• Cool completely before frosting.
• Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter, vanilla, almond extract and salt.
• Add powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) until combined.
• add milk & mix until smooth and spreading consistency.
• Add a few drops of color, if desired.
• Spread over cooled cookie, then cut into bars.

• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cookie comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes; they won't look done. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Beat 1/2 cup butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until combined. Add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. Spread frosting over cooled cookie bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. (The parchments paper is for easy removal.)
• Cream butter and sugar together (this just means stir together until it's light and fluffy). Next stir in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Scrape the sides of the bowl and stir again.
• Then stir in the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. It won't look like a traditional dough at first, but if you grab a handful it should stick together and hold its shape.
• Spread the dough evenly into the prepared dish and press down. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown! Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Stir all frosting ingredients together until smooth and fluffy. Start by adding 3 tablespoons milk then add more until frosting is the desired consistency.

(It will be very crumbly if using a hand mixer, more smooth if using a stand mixer.) Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk or cream.
