Cookies are the crown jewels of Italian confections. I canât let a holiday go by without baking these traditional almond cookies rolled in mild pine nuts.Maria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups (12 ounces) almond paste |
1/2 cup sugar |
4 egg whites, divided |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1-1/2 cups pine nuts |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat almond paste and sugar until crumbly. Beat in 2 egg whites. Gradually add confectioners' sugar; mix well.
2. Whisk remaining egg whites in a shallow bowl. Place pine nuts in another shallow bowl. Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Roll in egg whites and coat with pine nuts. Place 2 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Flatten slightly.
3. Bake at 325° for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
