How to Make Italian Pignoli Cookies
Ingredients
  • 200 g ( 7 oz) package of almond paste (I recommend Odense)
  • 120 g ( ½ cup) granulated sugar
  • ⅛ to ¼ tsp almond extract
  • 2 large eggs whites (about 30 to 32 g cracked weight)
  • 65 g (about ⅓ to ½ cup) all purpose flour or 1:1 GF flour (see notes below)
  • 227 g (appx. 1 ½ cups) pine nuts
  • Powdered sugar, optional
  • subheading: Notes, Tips & Substitutions:
  • Do not use marzipan for this recipe; it’s not the same as almond paste.
  • Use the higher amount of almond extract for a stronger taste.
  • For gluten free cookies, use King Arthur Measure For Measure Gluten Free Flour. It’s a 1:1 GF flour, so it’s an even swap.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the sticky dough.
