Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound almond paste
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts

Directions

  1. Use a pastry chopper (or food processor) to break up the almond paste into a granulated form. Put in mixing bowl and gradually add the sugar.
  2. In another small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the sugar/almond paste mixture gently.
  3. On a greased and floured cookie sheet, drop a spoonful of the mixture. Press pine nuts into the top of the cookie (you want to cover the top with nuts).
  4. Bake at 325 degrees F (170 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
