Pignoli Cookies Recipe: The Classic Italian Treat That’s Made For Sharing

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff.

Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the egg whites and mix well.

Gradually fold the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls.

Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Press a few pine nuts into the top of each cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
