Almond Danish Bars

My good friend, Aleese, shared this recipe with me last year. This was my first time making it. So delicious!

Almond Danish Bars:

1st dough:

1 cup flour

1 stick butter

Cut together like a pie crust, add 2 tbsp of water. Mix with a fork. Form dough into 2 flattened strips about 3 inches wide and spread on cookie sheet.

2nd dough:

1 stick of butter

1tsp almond extract

1 cup water

1 cup flour

3 eggs

Bring water and butter to a boil. Add almond and all of flour. Remove from heat and stir to make a smooth, thick, ball. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Divide equally on 2 strips of dough already on the pan. Bake 45 mins. @ 350. Until puffy and brown. Remove from oven. The top will sink some as it cools. Frost when cool.

Frosting:

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 c soft butter

1 tsp almond extract

 2 tbsp milk

Green food coloring

Beat until smooth. Cut into slices.
