Ingredients - Serves 12

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and almond extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and flatten each piece into a disc.
Place a spoonful of almond paste in the center of each disc and fold the dough over to enclose the paste.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and press a whole almond into the top of each one.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
