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
- 8 oz almond paste recommended: Solo brand
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 egg large, 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.
