Here is a recipe for making your own if you can't find it!

1 1/2 cups ( 8oz) whole blanched almonds
1 1/2 cups (5 oz) sifted confectiojners' sugar
1 egg white
1 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp salt

In a food processor grind half the almonds till very fine. Remove and repeat with remaining almonds. Total ground nuts should give you 1 3/4 cups. Put all nuts and remaining ingredients in the food processor. Cover and process till a paste forms. Gather together and store in a tightly sealed plastic bag. Makes 1 1/3 cups (13 oz)

I've never kept mine around long, I usually make it the day before I'm making a recipe that I need it for; that way I'm not trying to make it and the cookies! LOL
