ALMOND CHERRY SQUARES

Ingredients

1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1/2 t. almond extract
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
3 c. flour

Cherry Topping
1 can cherry pie filling


Glaze
1 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 T. milk


Instructions

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Add almond extract, vanilla, baking powder and salt and mix slightly. Add flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each.

Spread on a greased big cookie sheet. Stir together cherry pie filling and almond extract in a bowl. Spoon over batter in the cookie sheet. If you aren't a fan of whole cherries, you can just spoon the cherry syrup over the top. Bake at 375 for around 25 minutes, or until a golden color.

While it's baking, stir together powdered sugar, milk and almond extract in a bowl. Drizzle over immediately after bringing the pan out of the oven.

Let cool, then cut into squares.
