It can also contain whipped egg whites and or glycerin.
You can find recipes to make your own almond paste too. Most commonly in the states, I’ve found almond paste in a can or a tube.
Hope that helps.

Almond paste is essential to this recipe.

You add the salt with the almond paste. As for the higher elevation issue, hmmm I really don’t know a whole lot about it. You should check out a blog called http://www.userealbutter.com, she lives at a high elevation and cooks stuff.

I thought these looked perfect for Passover so just made a batch and ran into a couple of issues. First, where does the salt come in? Next, I’m at 6300 feet above sea level and mine completely flattened out. Haven’t tasted them yet, but they don’t look pretty like yours. Any suggestions?

The recipe says almond paste (which already has sugar and egg whites in it) but the picture looks looks like almond flour. I dont want to spend money on almond paste if I can use almond flour instead. I just bought a 10lbs bag of it. :) Please help. I can’t wait to make these. :)

I almost didn’t add the salt because it wasn’t in the instruction but threw it in anyways. I don’t know what I did wrong but my dough did not work out at all. I followed the recipe exactly and I got a runny batter with lumpy almond paste no matter how long I beat it for (stand mixer-medium setting). I finally had to add some flour to rescue the batter. The result was large flat cracked cookies. They are still super tasty and everyone loves them (taste like chewy almond meringues) but they do not look anything like the pictured cookies I was aiming for.
