Pine Nut Cookies

Pignoli cookies (pine nut cookies) are a classic Italian confection. They're made with almond paste and eggs, making them naturally gluten free. Chewy, sweet, and delicious!

Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 oz almond paste * recommended: Solo brand
  • cup sugar
  • 2 large egg whites*
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raw untoasted pine nuts

Notes

  • *Do not use Marzipan, it is not the same thing and will not produce good results. 
  • **Make sure you only use large eggs or the cookies may not turn out right. 
  • ***Baking times will vary by oven so keep an eye on them. Some say  Pignoli Cookies should be on the lighter, less baked side, but I actually prefer them a bit more dark and toasted.
