Dutch Almond Cookies

This recipe comes from ladies of Dutch descent at my sister's church. The pleasant almond flavor pairs well with a cup of coffee.

    I had a can of almond paste I need to use up so I tried this recipe. They are delicious and addicting. With the almonds, nuts paste and extracts you get a full flavored cookie. I will definitely make these again.
