A coworker gave me this recipe from his mom's friend because he missed these from his younger days (he knows I bake for work all the time). Simple to make but rich, similar to a brownie in texture. Ingredients:
1/2 lb butter or 1/2 lb margarine, softened |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 can cherry pie filling (or other favorite flavor) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease a 13x9-inch pan.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs, one by one, and beat well.
5. Beat in extracts.
6. Gradually mix in flour and salt.
7. Once fully mixed, spread 2/3 of the mixture in prepared pan.
8. Spread the pie filling over this, then drop rest of the batter randomly by spoonfuls on the top.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
10. Cool in pan on wire rack before cutting into bars.
