My guests say these simple goodies are rich and deliciousâlike little pats of butter! Coated with pine nuts, the cookies also have a pleasant crunch. Ingredients:
1 package (7 ounces) almond paste, grated |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 egg whites |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
pinch salt |
1/2 cup pine nuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the almond paste and sugars until crumbly. Beat in egg whites and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to almond mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until easy to handle.
2. Place pine nuts in a shallow bowl. Working one at a time, with greased hands, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into pine nuts. Place cookies nut side up 2 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
3. Bake at 325° for 15-17 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely on baking sheets before carefully removing to wire racks. Store in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
