Time 1h30m

Yield About 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 7-ounce tube almond paste
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons cherry jam, large pieces chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Break up the almond paste and put it in a large bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and salt. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until the mixture looks like fine crumbs, about 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat in the egg white until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until just combined.
  • Scoop tablespoon-size balls of dough and roll in the pine nuts to coat. Arrange 1 inch apart on the prepared pan. Press a thin wooden spoon handle or chopstick into each ball to make a deep indentation in the center.
  • Bake until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center, 22 to 26 minutes. Re-indent the cookies with the back of a small measuring spoon while still warm. Fill with the cherry jam. Let the cookies cool completely on the pans.

I'm not a big fan of cherry pie filling, so I used raspberry jam instead. The cookies were still delicious.

The cookies didn't turn out as I expected. I think I overbaked them.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I wasn't sure how the pine nuts would taste in these cookies, but I was pleasantly surprised. They add a nice nutty flavor.

I made these cookies with my kids and we had a lot of fun. They're not too difficult to make, even for little ones.
