Almond Shortbread Bars

2 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Butter -- softened
1 Egg -- separated
1/4 tsp Almond extract
1 Tbsp Water

Heat oven to 350 F. In large mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter,
egg yolk and almond extract. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often,
until particles are fine, 2-3 minutes. Press on bottom of greased
15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. In small bowl, beat egg white and water
until frothy; brush on dough. Sprinkle nuts over top. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes, or until very lightly browned. Cool completely. Cut into bars.
