Thank You Squares

Thank You Squares

This recipe came from the back of the label on a can of Thank You brand cherry pie filling. With it's almond extract flavoring and pretty red color, these are a huge hit in the sweet department, especially at Christmas time.

350 degrees 30 minutes

2 sticks margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (I use almond)
1 to 1 1/2 cans (regular size pie filling - we prefer cherry) Use one lrg. can if you can find it.
walnuts optional

Mix all ingredients well and spread in a sprayed 9 x 13 pan, using about 3/4 of the mixture. Pour the pie filling over this. Drop the remaining dough by a teaspoon here and there over the pie filling. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Finish off by drizzling in a decorative pattern with confectioner' s icing.
