I have such a thing for the amazing flavor of almond extract that is prominent in these brownies (or should I call them blondies)? This recipe is so easy and as my BF Danielle says "I just kept walking over to the pan and taking a little more and then walking back and taking a little more". :) Well said, D. I do the same thing!
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening, melted
2 eggs, well beaten
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour
1 tsp almond extract
Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs, flour, baking powder and mix well. Add extract. Pour into 8 x 8 greased pan. Sprinkle with almond slices and sugar. Press lightly into batter.
Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

for someone who mainly only likes desserts with chocolate these are crazy good!!!
Swedish Brownies are the bomb. Almond extract is an under-used fab ingredient!
Yummmm....
I just posted a Blondie recipe and these are similar, but the texture looks quite different. I'm sure the almond extract adds a distinct flavor as well. I have to try them! :-)
A friend pinned this recipe, and I had to come read the post. As a Swedish American, I love finding new and interesting recipes. If you like these brownies, I predict you'll also love the traditional Swedish Almond Cake. The recipe comes with the pan.

I have two of the regular pans and they work just fine with a little Pam sprayed in them.
