Almond Sand Squares

Tonight for desert I made almond sand squares from an old family recipe. Everyone in my family said they were delicious & my sister even kissed me on the cheek & said I was 'the best.' So they were pretty good.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb of butter
• 2/3 cups of brown sugar
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of flour
• 2/3 cups of white sugar
• 3 tsp of almond extract
• 1 tsp of baking powder

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cream together butter and sugars; beat in egg.
• Mix together remaining ingredients.
• Fill mini-muffin tins with batter and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Changes:
       
I doubled everything so I had more batter, & I added a chocolate chip to the top of the tarts. You could also add almonds, fruit, or other various items that are edible.
