1 cup + 2 tablespoons Almond Paste
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar
pinch Salt
3/4 cup Egg Whites (3 large eggs)
1 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons Butter, very soft (softer than room temperature)
1 tablespoon Vanilla
3 cups + 2 tablespoons Flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease cookie sheets with butter or line with parchment paper. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle (or hand mixer), blend almond paste, powdered sugar and salt. Add just 2 tablespoons of the egg white. Scrape bowl so there are no lumps. Add butter (must be very soft) and blend until smooth. Add vanilla. Add remaining egg white very slowly until mixture is smooth. Fold in flour by hand. Use cookie press to create S or O shapes. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes or until light brown and firm to touch. Cool on wire racks. Add icing and sprinkles.
