Triple Almond Cookies image

I love almond flavor - in anything! I came up with these cookies about 20 years ago when I was trying to figure out what to do with almond paste... I figured it out! These are really good, but a little pricy because of the almond paste. (Be sure to use almond paste, not almond filling).
