Italian Almond Cookies
By emp1438
So light, sweet, and delicate. Finished with one small pignole nut (pine nut) on top. A dreamy little treat.

Ingredients
- Preheat oven to 300 F.
- 8 oz Almond Paste
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sifted flour
- 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
- Pignole nuts to finish
Preparation
Step 1
Turn almond paste into a bowl and gradually add 1 cup of sugar and 2 egg whites. Work the ingredients together with your fingers (or cheat, as I did, and use your mixer on low with the kneading hook). Knead in the 1/4 cup flour and the 1/4 cup confectioners sugar. Knead again until all ingredients are blended.
Drop by teaspoons on a lightly greased baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Top with a pignole nut on each cookie before baking. Bake at 300 for 20 –25 minutes.
