Pine Nut Cookies
My guests say these simple goodies are rich and delicious–like little pats of butter! Coated with pine nuts, the cookies also have a pleasant crunch.
30 Servings
Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min./batch + cooling
Ingredients
1 package (7 ounces) almond paste, grated
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1/2 cup pine nuts
Directions
In a large bowl, beat the almond paste and sugars until crumbly. Beat
in egg whites and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to
almond mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or
until easy to handle.
Place pine nuts in a shallow bowl. Working one at a time, with
greased hands, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into pine nuts.
Place cookies nut side up 2 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined
baking sheets.
Bake at 325° for 15-17 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
Cool completely on baking sheets before carefully removing to wire
racks. Store in an airtight container with waxed paper between
layers. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
