Pinoccate (Pine Nut And Almond Paste Cookies)
Servings: 1
Directions
- PREPARATION: In a food processor, process the almonds and 1 c. of the sugar till they are finely grnd. Add in vanilla. Beat the egg whites with the salt till they form soft peaks, beat in remaining sugar and gradually mix in the almond paste. Place the pine nuts in a shallow bowl and drop the almond mix by spoonfuls unto them, forming a small ball and rolling gently to cover the surface with nuts. Lightly butter a large cookie sheet, dust with flour and tap off excess. Place cookie balls 1 inch apart, flatten lightly with a moist fork. Bake at 400 F. for 10 min, or possibly till golden brown.
