Pignoli Cookies

1: Preheat oven to 325F.

2: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and set aside.

3: Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.

4: In a food processor, combine sugar and almond paste (broken into smaller pieces) until it looks like sand.

5: Add the egg whites and flour to the processor and pulse until well blended and a sticky dough forms.

6: Roll the dough into balls and then coat them in pine nuts. Wetting your fingers helps with the process.

7: Place the balls on the cookie sheet and lightly press down.

8: Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies is golden.

9: Let cool and dust with powdered sugar.
