Servings: persons

2 cups butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

1
In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and extracts. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2
Divide dough into fourths; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle. In a small bowl, combine almond paste, sugar, egg white and vanilla until blended.

Roll one portion of dough to 3/8-in. thickness. Working quickly, place scant teaspoonfuls of filling 2-1/2 in. apart over half of dough. Fold dough over; press down around filling to seal. Cut out cookies using a scalloped round 2-1/4-in. cutter. Reroll scraps if desired; repeat with remaining dough and filling.
