Almond Pan Cookies are another family favourite from my youth that I have not been able to eat. Thanks to Schar Gluten Free Crackers I can once again enjoy this quick and easy to prepare treat!

My first attempt for this recipe was with margarine since I also need to limit my dairy intake.  I highly recommend that you use butter when making this recipe.  The margarine version was edible but did not measure up so I did not even save pictures!

For my second attempt I started by dumping some butter into a small sauce pan.

Then I melted the butter over medium heat.  When it had melted I dumped in some brown sugar.

I stirred the brown sugar and melted butter together until they came to a boil.

Without stirring I let the mixture boil for 2 1/2 minutes.

While the sauce boiled I lined a 10×15 inch cookie sheet with Schar Gluten Free Crackers.  I made sure to cover the whole pan breaking crackers when necessary.

After laying out the crackers I spread some sliced almonds evenly on top of them.

I then slowly and carefully spooned the sauce over the crackers so that the almonds remained in place.

Now I put the pan in a preheated 400F oven for 6 to 7 minutes.  Be careful not to let it burn.

While the cookies were baking I melted some semi-sweet chocolate chipits in the microwave.

Then I removed the pan from the oven.

I drizzled the melted chocolate on top of the cookies.

After letting it cool for one minute I sliced it into squares.  I then allowed it to cool for another 10 minutes before slicing again and transferring them to a cooling rack.

Almond Pan Cookies are an easy and delicious dessert for any time of the year.  Now that gluten free soda crackers are available we can indulge in this tasty treat.

Once the chocolate had hardened they were ready to enjoy!
