The bars have a tender, nutty shortbread base and a crumb topping. Even without the stained-glass-window effect, their unique shape and drizzle of glaze dress them up for the holidays. Ingredients 2 cups butter 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla 4 cups all purpose flour 18 oz seedless raspberry jam 1 cup sliced almonds 2/3 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon almond extract 3 teaspoons water Directions Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 15x10-inch pan with foil, extending foil over edges. Grease foil. In a large bowl beat butter with a mixer on medium to high 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium 2 minutes, scraping bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla until combined. Beat in flour until soft dough forms. Press two-thirds (about 3⅓ cups) of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake 20 minutes. Whisk jam until smooth. Carefully pour jam over crust, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with almonds. Use your fingers to grab bits of the remaining dough. Slightly flatten dough and place randomly over the filling. Bake 30 to 35 minutes more or until top is golden. Cool on a wire rack. Drizzle bars with Almond Glaze. Use foil to lift uncut bars out of pan; cut into triangles. Almond Glaze In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, almond extract, and enough water to reach drizzling consistency.
