This would be so good Christmas morning with a cup of hot Cocoa

CHERRY BARS

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon salt

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cans (21 ounces each) cherry pie filling

GLAZE:

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk

LETS MAKE IT-

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Gradually add flour.

Spread 3 cups dough into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Spread with pie filling. Drop remaining dough by teaspoonfuls over filling. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
