Bienenstichalso known as Bee Sting Bars1 cup butter, firm 3/4 cup sugar 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons milk 1 cup chopped or slivered almonds 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 3/4 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg
Preheat oven to 350F. In a small pan, combine 1/2 cup of the butter, 1/4 cup of the sugar, honey, milk, almonds, and almond extract. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring; set aside. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut remaining 1/2 cup butter into pieces and, with a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut into flour mixture until mixture is very crumbly and no large particles remain. Add egg and mix with a fork until dough holds together. Press dough evenly over bottom of an ungreased 10 by 15-inch rimmed baking pan. Pour almond mixture over dough, spreading evenly. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until topping is deep golden. Let cool in pan on a rack. Cut into 2-inch squares; for smaller cookies, cut each square diagonally into 2 triangles. Store airtight.

I have had Beininstich cake with the cream...also very good but I am a cookie junkie so this is my favorite! Would make this again. I had this receipe in my collection for years and somehow it was misplaced. Thank you! It is a Christmas favorite at our house. Would make this again. It was good, but i remember it from when i was in Germany with the husband in the army and the bakery lady would deliver it to the American. And it did had a cream filling. Please reserch and print an equivelant recipe. e
