Almond Espresso Bars Recipe photo by Taste of Home

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup brewed espresso
1 large egg
1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped slivered almonds, toasted
GLAZE:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons water
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and espresso until blended. Beat in egg. Combine flour and cinnamon; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chopped almonds.
Spread into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° until lightly browned, 18-22 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, water and extract until smooth; spread over warm bars. Sprinkle with slivered almonds. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Self-rising Flour-1-1/2 cups

As a substitute for 1-1/2 cups self-rising flour, place 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup. Combine with an additional 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
