Instructions

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2
Prepare one or two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats
Step 3
Pour the pine nuts into a small bowl or onto a small plate.
Step 4
Place the almond paste into a food processor with the salt and sugar. Process by pulsing until combined into a sandy texture.
Step 5
Once the mixture is nice and sandy, add in one egg white at a time, giving a few pulses between each egg white. After adding the final egg white, run the food processor until it creates a soft smooth dough.
Step 6
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop enough dough into the palm of your hand to create a 1” round ball. Roll the dough between your palms until it is a nice round shape. The dough may be a little sticky, so you can use a little oil on your hands if needed to help prevent sticking.
Step 7
Take the ball of dough and roll into some pine nuts, then place onto your prepared baking sheets, about 2 to 2.5” apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until they are slightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool.
