Scandinavia Almond Bars

Cream butter and sugar.  Add egg and almond extract and beat until fluffy.  Stir in flour, baking powder, and  salt and mix well.

Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a log about 12 inches long.  Place two logs on a baking sheet 4-5 inches apart.  Flatten until the rolls are about 3 inches wide.  Brush flattened roll with milk and sprinkle with sliced almonds, pressing into the dough.

Bake 12-15 minutes, or until edges are slightly browned.  While still warm, cut crosswise at a diagonal, about 1 inch wide. When cool, drizzle with almond icing.
