here's the very similar recipe that makes cookies, but it uses honey in the second layer instead of spreading on jam:
oven preheated to 400.
crust is half cup butter, one and one third cups of flour and only 3 TBS water....form dough, press into greased 9 x 13, drizzle with 2 TBS of honey, scatter half to two thirds cup nuts over honey.
the batter is made the same way, except that when adding the almond extract, you also stir in a half cup of honey, then spread the batter over the crust.
bake at 400 for 30 to 35 minutes, lightly browned and very puffy (it will collapse when cool).
glaze (same ingredients) when cool; cut into one inch squares.
not as pretty, but very good, and easier to use as finger food...it's been a family favorite for years.
Yum! As I read this, I'm hoping I have all the ingredients at home when I arrive after work! Irene @ KAF
