Instructions
  1. 1 In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and almond paste with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until blended. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  2. 2 Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. On lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 4x1-inch mask-shaped cookie cutter. On cookie sheets, place cutouts 1 inch apart; insert craft stick in bottom of each cutout. Repeat with remaining dough.
  3. 3 Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. While warm, reshape or cut out eyes again, if necessary. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks; cool completely.
  4. 4 Decorate cookies as desired with cookie icing, sparkling sugar and candy sprinkles. Let stand until set.
