Categories     Cookies     Nut     Dessert     Bake

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 7-ounce tubes almond paste
1 cup sugar
2 large egg whites
finely grated zest of one orange
1½ cups whole pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Crumble almond paste into the work bowl of a food processor and process until the paste is in fine crumbs. Sprinkle in the sugar with the motor running. Once the sugar is incorporated, add the egg whites and orange zest. Process to make a smooth dough, about 20 to 30 seconds. Spread the pine nuts on a plate. Form the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls by rolling in in between the palms of your hands, then roll the dough in the pine nuts until coated, then place on baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden and springy to the touch, about 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to cooling racks to cool completely. - See more at: http://www.lidiasitaly.com/recipes/detail/744#sthash.ZRcJgxwc.dpuf

My cookies didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies were incredibly easy to make and turned out absolutely delicious! I used a food processor to grind the nuts, which made the process even faster.
