Pine Nut Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pine Nut Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab two cookie sheets and line them with foil, giving the foil a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   Next, in a food processor, combine the almond paste and white sugar, blending them together until they’re perfectly mixed.

4. Step 4

   Then, add the confectioners' sugar along with two of the egg whites, and blend again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Step 5

   In a small bowl, whisk the remaining two egg whites until they’re frothy and light.

6. Step 6

   Now, pour the pine nuts onto a shallow plate, ready for some delicious coating action.

7. Step 7

   With lightly floured hands, take a scoop of the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls.

8. Step 8

   Dip each ball into the frothy egg whites, letting any excess drip off, and then roll them in the pine nuts, gently pressing to make sure they stick.

9. Step 9

   Place the coated balls on your prepared cookie sheets, giving them a slight flattening to form 1 1/2-inch rounds.

10. Step 10

    Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cookies are beautifully golden brown.

11. Step 11
