The bottom crust is a deliciously TENDER shortbread, in addition to then at that spot is a elementary layer of raspberry jam, nuts in addition to to a greater extent than shortbread pieces on top. It couldn't live easier!!! The master copy recipe didn't bring a frosting, but I mean value every cookie bar needs a drizzle, don't you? (My tweaks to this recipe are inward blue).

3/4 loving cup butter (room temperature)
1/2 loving cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 loving cup raspberry jam (I used 1/2 cup)
1 loving cup slivered almonds (I used 3/4 loving cup of toasted pecans, chopped)
Preheat oven to 350°F in addition to work an 8"x 8" pan alongside foil, spray the foil alongside cooking spray. (I lined an 8" x 8" baking pan alongside parchment newspaper in addition to used NO spray. Leave the parchment ends long, hence yous tin give the sack choose handgrip of onto them to elevator the bars out of the pan later they are cooked in addition to cooled.)

In a large bowl (I used my stand upwards mixer) beat the room temperature butter, powdered carbohydrate in addition to extracts until creamy (about two minutes).
Add the flour in addition to trounce until it all comes together. The dough may live a piffling crumbly but that's OK. (Dough comes together perfectly using a stand upwards mixer....a smaller mixer mightiness instruct out it a piffling crumbly).

Remove 1/2 loving cup of this dough, roll it inward plastic in addition to freeze for 10 minutes. (I patted the 1/2 loving cup reserved dough into a sparse disk in addition to and then seat it inward the freezer)
Pat the balance of the dough onto the foil (or parchment) lined pan, inward an fifty-fifty layer. Top alongside 1/2 loving cup of slivered almonds in addition to jam, spreading almost to border of dough. I seat toasted pecans UNDER the layer of jam.
Crumble the remaining dough on transcend in addition to goal alongside remaining slivered almonds. (I cutting upwards the frozen dough into really sparse slivers alongside my pastry cutter in addition to sprinkled evenly over the jam layer, in addition to then I topped that layer alongside the lastly 1/4 loving cup toasted chopped pecans.)
Bake 45 to 50 minutes at 350°F or until the transcend is low-cal golden chocolate-brown in addition to centre is set. Cool completely. My electrical oven took just 45 minutes to instruct dainty in addition to golden on top. The master copy recipe said "bake until centre is set", but at that spot is null inward the centre to 'set' inward this recipe, hence I would ignore that idea.
The master copy recipe didn't bring a frosting, but I reckon it needed some, hence I only mixed a piffling melted butter alongside some powdered carbohydrate in addition to vanilla in addition to a yoke tablespoons of milk (sorry, I never mensurate my frosting's). Just mix it good in addition to drizzle over the cooked bars....you can't instruct wrong.
Cool completely earlier cutting into squares.
