Excellant recipes that I will definately use again. Everyone that tried them loved them. I made two batches, one as the recipe reads and in the other I added more almond flavoring and less cinnamon to the glaze topping.

These were excellent bar cookies and I even thought of substituting the almonds with pecans or walnuts! They did not last very long at my house.
