Almond Cookie Bar
This is the Almond Cookie Bar that I made last weekend. I scribbled down the recipe on a memo pad many years ago, put it in my folder and had completely forgotten from where did I get this recipe. If anyone of you know the link of this recipe please let me know. This Almond Cookie Bar is really worth trying and addictive as it’s very crispy and fragrant with every bite that makes me reaching out for more. Definitely a keeper! I should haveย doubled the recipe so that I can have more to share with my family and friends.
Here, I would like to make an announcement that I’ll be away for quite some time due to family commitments. I am not able to update my posts but will try to do so when the opportunity arises and I also may not have the time to drop by your blog. So today’s post will be my last post till I return. So goodbye friends and readers, thank you for your support all these years and ย hopefully Anncoo Journal will not be completely forgotten by you when I return. Take care everyone and I’ll miss you all very much!

Hello Ann, just want to check if l could use strawberry jam instead as this is the only jam l have in the fridge?
I tried your durian muffins some weeks ago and it was a hit with my family. Thanks for the recipes posted. I tried some of them and they were nice!
Thanks Charlotte for trying my recipes! ๐
You can use the jam you have in the fridge or even the strawberry jam if you like.
How kind of you to leave us for break with this lovely delicious cookie bar. When you are back, we will be here. Take good care. Will be thinking of you. Hugs.
Hello again, Ann!
I know I have just nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award last week but could not help passing the Addictive Blog Award (again) to you this week! I hope this is not redundant ๐
I am one of those loyal followers of your blog since I discovered your blog quite some time ago so I think it's just proper if I regard your blog as an addictive blog for me to read on regular basis. I have announced this here: http://www.mywanderingstory.com/2012/07/addictive-blog-award.html

Apricots and almonds are meant for each other. This looks like such a delicious treat.
