Pignoli Cookies

Pignoli Cookies

Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 12 ounces almond paste

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

  • 4 egg whites, divided

  • 1 ½ cups pine nuts

  • all-purpose flour for rolling

Preparation

Step 1


Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with foil; lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.


Step 2


Place almond paste and white sugar in a food processor; blend until combined. Add confectioners' sugar and 2 egg whites; blend until smooth.


Step 3


Whisk remaining 2 egg whites in a small bowl. Place pine nuts on a shallow plate.


Step 4


With lightly floured hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls. Coat balls in egg whites, shaking off excess, then roll in pine nuts, pressing lightly to stick. Arrange balls on cookie sheets, and flatten slightly to form a 1 1/2-inch round.


Step 5


Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Let stand on cookie sheets briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
