1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup sugar |
3/4 cup cold butter, cubed |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided |
1 egg, beaten |
2 cups chopped almonds, toasted |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1 teaspoon shortening |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
2. In a saucepan, combine the milk and 1 cup chocolate chips. Cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Stir in egg, almonds and extract.
