Pignoli Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1
    8 ounce can almond paste (made without syrup or liquid glucose)
  • 1
    cup sugar
  • 2
    egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1/4
    cup pine nuts
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil; set aside.

2. Break almond paste into small pieces and place in a food processor.* Cover and process until nearly smooth. With food processor running, gradually add sugar, processing until combined. Add egg whites; cover and process until combined.

3. Drop dough by teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet. Press a few pine nuts onto each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven about 15 minutes or until edges are firm and tops are lightly browned.

4. Cool on cookie sheet for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool. (If the cookies stick to the parchment paper or foil, use a spatula dipped in hot water to remove the cookies.) Makes about 24 cookies.
