How to Make Pignoli Cookies Italian Pine Nut Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, crumble 8 ounces (225g) of almond paste using a handheld mixer until finely crumbled.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
- Beat in 2 large egg whites, one at a time, until the dough is smooth and well combined.
- Spread 1 cup (50g) pine nuts on a plate.
- Roll 1 tablespoon of dough at a time into a ball between your palms. Roll the ball in the pine nuts to coat completely.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down slightly to flatten and secure the nuts.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned, soft, and springy.
