Big Soft Almond Cookies

A friend sent this recipe to me. Does anyone know where you find canned almond filling?

Big Soft Almond Cookies

1 c Butter, unsalted; room temp 1 c Sugar 2 lg Eggs 1 c Almond filling; canned 1/4 c Milk 3 c All-purpose flour 1/2 ts Baking soda 1/4 ts Salt 1/4 c Almonds; slice/blanch

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and blend. Add almond filling and milk and blend again. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, add salt and add to the creamed mixture. Scoop 2 rounded tablespoons of dough and roll together to form each cookie. Drop dough onto lightly greased cookie sheets, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. Press sliced almonds onto tops. Bake until cookies are lightly golden and firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a rack and let cool.

Enjoy.
