50 cookies
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs almond paste
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar

- 2 cups pine nuts
directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In an electric mixer, combine almond paste that has been broken into pebble size pieces), sugar, confectioners' sugar and egg whites on low until blended. Mix for 2 minutes on medium. This will make a sticky dough. Don't add flour - the dough needs to be slightly sticky so that the pine nuts stick to the dough.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in a bowl of pine nuts. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet either lined with parchment or lightly sprayed, spacing them 2 inches apart. Using your fingers, slightly flatten the tops of the cookies.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove the cookie sheet from oven and let cookies cool on sheet (easier to remove) When cookies are completely cool, loosen then with a metal spatula. Store in an airtight container.
