Cherry Bars

I want one of these right NOW:
(makes 5 dozen)

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 t. Kosher* salt
4 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cans (21 oz. each) cherry pie filling

Glaze:
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. almond extract
2-3 T. milk

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Gradually add flour. Spread 3 cups batter onto a greased 15x10x1" baking sheet. Spread with pie filling. Drop remaining batter by teaspoonful over filling. Bake 30-35 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. In a bowl, mix glaze ingredients using enough milk to reach desired consistency. Drizzle over top. Savor with a wonderful cup of tea or coffee.

"There may be no trumpet sound or loud applause when we make a right decision, just a calm sense of resolution and peace."

Have FUN today!!
