A great bar cookie that can also be served as a coffee cake. It is delicious, moist, and chewy with that great combo of cherries and almonds.

1cupbuttermelted
3tspalmond extract
2cupsflour
½cancherry pie filling
Drizzle
¼cuppowdered sugar
1tspmilk
slliced almonds
Instructions
Prheat oven to 325°.
In a mixer, mix together the eggs and sugar until combined and a nice, light yellow color.
Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the mixer, while it's on low speed.
Drizzle in the almond extact.
Add the flour and mix until combined.
Spread the batter into a greased pan. I used an 8"x10" pan.
Spoon the cherry pie filling onto the top of the batter, using about 1/2 the can.
Use a knife to swirl the cherry pie filling into the batter.
Bake for 1 hr to 1 hr and 10 minutes.
Drizzle
Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until all lumps are gone. You want a thick drizzle. Add more powdered sugar or milk as needed to get the desired consistency.
Use a fork to drizzle on top of cooled bar cookies. Add sliced almonds on top.
Notes
You can bake this in a 9"x13" pan. I would check for doneness after 40-45 minutes.
