You can make any flavor you want. You can add the lemon extract instead of the almond. You'll still need to add a little vanilla extract.
You can make cookies without a press too. Take a mini icecream scoop and scoop it out on the baking tray. Take a fork and press it for some indentation. You can use a spoon and press it in the middle and add a cherry, a dried fruit and bake.
I generally press these cookies on my cold marble counter tops and carefully transfer it to the baking sheet, that way you can skip the refrigeration part.
Bake one tray at a time in the middle of the oven.
