Heat oven to 375. Beat flour, butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Cut almond paste into 1/2-inch slices; cut each slice into fourths.
Shape 1-inch ball of dough around each piece of almond paste. Gently roll to form ball. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until set and bottom is golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool completely. Dip tops of cookies into Almond Glaze, sprinkle with sugar crystals.
