How to Make Almond Chocolate Chip Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon almond extract using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the bars are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon softened butter, and 1-2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the bars are completely cool, spread the glaze evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with ½ cup slivered almonds and gently press them into the glaze.
