• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 13" x 9" pan with parchment paper.
• In a small mixing bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in almond extract.
• Then with the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Evenly divide dough into two small mixing bowls.
• In one bowl add 6 drops of green food coloring, stir to mix in the coloring. Continue to mix in more green food coloring until you get the color you desire.
• In the other bowl add 6 drops of red food coloring, stir to mix in the coloring. Continue to mix in more red food coloring until you get the color you desire.
• Spread the dough to the prepared pan, I added the green first but you could do either one. Then add the remaining dough on top and spread, this was red for me.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes. Test at 20 minutes with a toothpick to check the baking process, then recheck at 25 minutes. Tester should come out clean when bars are done baking. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

• In a large bowl, cream together the confectioner's sugar and butter until smooth. Gradually mix in the milk and almond or vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and stiff, about 5 minutes. Spread over cookie bars. 
• Top with sprinkles. Cut, serve, and devour. Happy Holidays!
