Now, let’s talk about what you’re gonna need to whip up these yummy squares:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped almonds (optional, but highly recommended for that extra crunch)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Alright, let’s get into the instructions so you can get these squares baking in no time:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that heat going because you want your squares nice and warm!
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This is the base of your sweet treat!
  3. Stir in the all-purpose flour and almond flour, mixing until everything comes together nicely. Keep that arm strong!
  4. Add in the almond extract and salt. Don’t skip on the almond extract, it’s what packs that punch of flavor!
  5. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in the chopped almonds for that perfect crunch factor.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into a greased baking dish. Don’t be shy; get it all in there!
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  8. Once it’s done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the dish for a bit, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Finally, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for that sweet finishing touch and cut into squares.

Now you’ve got yourself some delightful Almond Squares II! Serve these at your next gathering, and watch everyone come back for seconds (and thirds!). Enjoy every bite and feel the love in the flavor!
