Pignoli (Pine Nut) Cookies

Pignoli (Pine Nut) Cookies

Also called pine nut cookies. I make them and my family eats them so quickly I have to hide a few so I get some.

Yield:
2 dozen
Servings:
12

Ingredients

  • ½ pound almond paste
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • ¼ cup pine nuts

Directions

Step 1
Use a pastry chopper (or food processor) to break up the almond paste into a granulated form. Put in mixing bowl and gradually add the sugar.

Step 2
In another small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the sugar/almond paste mixture gently.

Step 3
On a greased and floured cookie sheet, drop a spoonful of the mixture. Press pine nuts into the top of the cookie (you want to cover the top with nuts).

Step 4
Bake at 325 degrees F (170 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
