Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven 350F (180C).
- Place the pine nuts on a plate. Set aside.
- Place the nuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until they are golden brown, remove immediately from the pan to cool in a clean bowl. Do not leave the nuts on the cookie sheet as they will continue to bake.
- In a blender or food processor add the cooled almonds, sugar, salt and blend until very fine. Move to a large bowl, stir in the egg whites and extract. Mix until combined.
- Form into small balls or crescents, dip the cookies in the pine nuts then move pine nuts top up to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the unbaked cookies with powdered sugar then bake 15-20 minutes or until golden. Let cool 5-8 minutes on the pan, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with extra powdered sugar before serving if desired. Enjoy!
Notes

- Flash freeze pignoli cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet until frozen. Once frozen, store in a freezer safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw cookies on the counter at room temperature and if desired warm in the oven at 250°F until crisp.
