Gluten-Free Dairy-Free
These traditional Italian pine nut–studded cookies are both crunchy and chewy. Roll the dough into balls with slightly damp hands to prevent sticking.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups whole blanched almonds
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup icing sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2 cups pine nuts
Preparation
In food processor, coarsely chop almonds. Add granulated sugar and icing sugar; process until in fine crumbs. Add egg whites and almond extract; process for 2 minutes to form smooth sticky dough. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Roll by heaping 1 tsp (5 mL) into balls; roll in pine nuts. Place, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheets; press to flatten slightly.
Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until edges are light golden and tops are firm, about 18 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.)
