Haven,t made it yet:what is the difference between almond paste and almond butter? Can get butter at my grocery. How do I substitute?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these cookies!I would make these monthly if I could. They are delicious with a glass of cold milk. Easy to make!

I agree with LegalSec. Tried adding flour, then confectioners sugar, then freezing the dough. Just doesn't come out right, and too greasy. I make a lot of things with almond paste and I was really disappointed.

I was excited about making these cookies. Such a disappointment. The cookies resemble a snickerdoodle in the picture, trust me they did not. They were flat, greasy and undercooked even when I cooked for additional time. Would not make again.

Can you substitute almond extract for the almond paste?? If so , how much.

1/4" balls? it says 1" which is pretty standard for rolled cookies.

Are we really supposed to roll dough into 1/4" balls? That seems pretty small. Wont they burn during the time stated to bake and at that temperature? And if they ate that small why do you need 2" in between cookies? I would like to make these but find the size and bake time questionable. If you could verify the size that would be great. Thank you
