Raspberry Bars

These cookies were recently served at a friend's wedding party.  They remind me of childhood thumbprint cookies.  Ohhhh so good! 

Raspberry Bars

 2 C butter
 1 C sugar
 2 eggs
 2 t. vanilla
 1/2 t. salt
 5 1/3 C flour

 Mix all ingredients and spread on a large cookie pan (the big ones we do rolls on). Bake at 375 for 10 min. or slightly brown.  Press rows with fingers 1" apart. Fill with raspberry jam.  Cook 5-10 min. longer.  Cool.  Drizzle with powder sugar icing with almond extract.  Cut in diagonals.
