Directions:
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Separate the eggs. Add the yolks, one by one, to the mixture; beat well. Slowly add the vanilla, almond extract and almond paste; mix until well-blended. Add the flour slowly by hand until incorporated. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and put them on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Whip the egg whites until frothy. Brush onto the cookies and sprinkle with colored sugar or a topping of your choice. Bake in a preheated 350º oven until golden brown.
