Also called pine nut cookies. I make them and my family eats them so quickly I have to hide a few so I get some.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ pound almond paste
1 cup white sugar
2 egg whites
¼ cup pine nuts

Steps:

  • Use a pastry chopper (or food processor) to break up the almond paste into a granulated form. Put in mixing bowl and gradually add the sugar.
  • In another small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the sugar/almond paste mixture gently.
  • On a greased and floured cookie sheet, drop a spoonful of the mixture. Press pine nuts into the top of the cookie (you want to cover the top with nuts).
  • Bake at 325 degrees F (170 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
