French Mini Almond Buttons

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the Recipe: These little cake-like cookies are small, cute, and full of almond flavor. They are soft chewy cookies with a texture that’s like a combination of a pound and sponge cake. If you love marzipan or almond filling, you will really love these little buttons.

Cook’s Note:  The recipe calls for 7 ounces almond paste, but our package had 8 ounces.  I think that I would use a baking oil spray with flour to coat the baking pans for easier cookie removal. Also, make sure that you beat them for the suggested time, as this is what makes them light and puffy.
