Almond Shortbread Bars

2 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Butter -- softened
1 Egg -- separated
1/4 tsp Almond extract
1 Tbsp Water
1/2 cup Almonds -- chopped

Heat oven to 350 F. In large mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter,
egg yolk and almond extract. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often,
until particles are fine, 2-3 minutes. Press on bottom of greased
15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. In small bowl, beat egg white and water
until frothy; brush on dough. Sprinkle nuts over top. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes, or until very lightly browned. Cool completely. Cut into bars.
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen bars.
