Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with cooking spray. Alternatively, place a circle of parchment paper in the bottom of the skillet, then lightly grease or oil the paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir 1 1/2 cups of the sugar into the melted butter. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift the flour and salt onto the batter. Add the flavoring and stir well. Pour the batter into the skillet. Top with the sliced almonds and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Bake for 35 minutes, or until slightly brown on top. Cool the shortbread in the skillet. When cool, use the foil to lift the shortbread from the skillet; remove the foil before serving. If you have used the parchment liner instead, run a sharp knife around the sides of the shortbread and invert the pan to remove it; peel off the parchment paper.
