Instructions
- Combine the marzipan almond paste with the honey to a smooth consistency.
- Season with a pinch of salt and a few drops lemon extract.
- Continue to mix in baking powder and egg.
- Add the flour batch by batch to the dough while continuously mixing, so that you use up all your flour to create cookie dough.
- In the end, add the shelled pine nuts and make a pignoli cookie dough.
- Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit/ 180° Celsius.
- Prepare a pan with a parchment sheet.
- Shape your cookies with the help of a spoon to a round shape and leave enough space between the cookies on the sheet. *see notes
- Decorate cookies with pine nuts on top.
- Bake cookies at 350° Fahrenheit/ 180° Celsius for about 10-12 minutes. *see notes
- Store in an airtight container between parchment paper.
Notes
- I used an ice cream scooper to shape the cookies, and you can use that too but keep in mind that the cookies turn out rather large. For smaller cookies use a normal Tablespoon.
- I bake my large cookies at 350° Fahrenheit/ 180° Celsius for 12 minutes. For smaller cookies you need to adjust the time and bake them for either 8-10 minutes instead. Bake your cookies until they appear golden brown.
- Makes about 9 - 20 cookies depending on the size of your cookies.
