Almond Cherry Bars

August 08, 2014

This, my friends, is what you call perfection in a semi-homemade bar! The wonderful tastes of summer collide into complete cherry deliciousness!

Cookie Dough Base:
2 packages (12.5 oz. total) sugar cookie mix (I used Betty Crocker)
1/4 c. salted butter (slightly softened)
1/4 c. (full fat) sour cream
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/2 c. chopped almonds

Cherry Filling:
3/4 can (about 16 oz.) cherry pie filling
1/4 tsp. almond extract

Glaze:
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. milk (approximately)
1/4 tsp. almond extract

For the cookie dough base, mix all ingredients together in the bowl of an electric mixer. Reserve 1/2 c. for the topping. Press the remaining dough into an 8"x8" glass pan that's been sprayed with butter...
