Sue's Cherry Bars

Dough:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ tsp. almond extract
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1 – 31 oz. can cherry pie filling

Frosting:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbs. butter
2 Tbs. evap. milk or cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and almond extract. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour. Spread 2/3 of dough onto greased cookie sheet. Spread cherry pie filling over dough. Drop remaining dough on top of cherries – might want to microwave a little to soften dough before. Mix the dough through the cherries a little. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes. Frost while still warm.
