If you don’t care for a strong almond flavor, you can also replace it with a teaspoon vanilla extract. You can add a whole teaspoon if you’d prefer a more intense almond flavor. But I add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract into the cookies because I like a little stronger flavor at the end. If you don’t have almond extract for your cookies, you’d be fine leaving it out. If you don’t feel like making it yourself, you can usually find the pre-made version in the baking aisle.

Plus if you don’t have almond flour, you can just use finely ground almonds from the food processor to make the paste. With my homemade recipe, you can also scale it up or down, depending on how many ounces almond paste your recipe calls for. You can add more or less extract according to your taste and the other ingredients in your recipe. I make this using my Homemade Almond Paste, which has both almond flour and almond extract, giving it a really strong flavor. Can you use almond paste instead of extract? While almond paste is sticky and better as an ingredient only. You can also dip half in chocolate decoratively if you want something more like a german horn (if you want the horn you’ll have to pipe it into the shape before baking).Īlmond paste and marzipan are similar, but marzipan has more sugar, which makes it better to use for decoration. If you want something closer to ricciarelli, you can add a teaspoon of orange zest to the filling. You can find different versions of this cookie across europe, but I’ve always known them from the Italian bakery. They’re rolled in sliced almonds and coated in powdered sugar.
