From LoveToKnow Recipes

Ingredients for Cinnamon Bars
  • 10 ozs. almond paste
  • White 1 egg
  • 5 ozs. Confectioners' sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
  1. Work together almond paste and sugar on a smooth board or marble slab.
  2. Then add whites of eggs gradually, and work until mixture is perfectly smooth.
  3. Confectioners at first use the hand, afterwards a palette knife, which is not only of use for mixing but for keeping board clean.
  4. Dredge a board with sugar, knead mixture slightly, and shape in a long roll.
  5. Pat, and roll one-fourth inch thick, using a rolling-pin.
  6. After rolling the piece should be four inches wide.
  7. Spread with frosting made of white of one egg and two-thirds cup confectioners' sugar beaten together until stiff enough to spread.
  8. Cut in strips four inches long by three-fourths inch wide.
  9. This must be quickly done, as a crust soon forms over frosting.
  10. To accomplish this, use two knives, one placed through mixture where dividing line is to be made, and the other used to make a clean sharp cut on both sides of first knife.
  11. Knives should be kept clean by wiping on a damp cloth.
  12. Remove strips as soon as cut, to a tin sheet, greased with shortening and then floured.
  13. Bake twenty minutes on centre grate in a slow oven.
