Sesame Almond Squares Recipe #145623
A simple to make yummy cookie.I found the recipe in the Good Housekeeping magazine Christmas cookies section December 2005.
Note: I think that these cookies would also be good using chocolate graham crackers or drizzling melted chocolate over the tops of cookies.

33 min | 15 min prep
24 cookies
- 12 graham crackers (5-inch By 2 1/2-inch each)
- 3/4 cup butter, cut up (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Preaheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place graham crackers side by side in ungreased jelly roll pan,(Make sure to use pan size called for; Crackers should cover entire pan with NO spaces in between) I lined the pan with release foil, this way the graham crackers fit really good in the pan.
- In a 1-quart saucepan, combine butter and sugar; heat to boiling over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, Boil 2 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.
- Spread mixture evenly over graham crackers; sprinkle with almonds and sesame seeds.
- Bake 18 to 19 minutes or until graham crackers are slightly brown and butter bubbles and turns golden; WATCH CAREFULLY during the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking to make sure graham crackers do not over brown.
- Note: my cookies were done in 16 minutes.
- While cookies are still in pan, with knife, IMMEDIATLY cut each graham cracker crosswise in half.
- With metal spatula, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
- Store cookies in tightly covered container, with wax paper between layers,in refrigerator up to 1 month or freeze up to 3 months.
