Equipment

  • bowl

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, cut the 1/2 cup of margarine into the 1 cup of flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Place them 3 inches apart onto an unprepared cookie sheet.
  5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  6. In a saucepan, bring the 1/2 cup of margarine, and 1 cup of water to a rolling boil. Lower heat and stir in the flour immediately with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir vigorously until the dough forms a tight ball.
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
  8. Spread equally onto both rectangles.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes before lowering the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to cook for 15 to 20 more minutes. The top should be crispy and brown.
  10. To make the glaze, beat the confectioners' sugar together with the melted butter and vanilla until smooth.
