Directions:

  1. Grease 3 - 13 x 9 inch pans. Line with wax paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  2. Combine almond paste, sugar, butter, egg yolks and almond extract. Beat for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in flour and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. With a wooden spoon, fold into the almond mixture.
