Pignoli Cookies

Want an easy and sweet treat for your holiday table? Bake some almond cookies topped with pine nuts.

We always have a stash of pignoli cookies for our Christmas table. You can make them in less than an hour.

A fan asked for this recipe. She has fond pignoli cookie memories but the recipe slipped away.

She got excited when I told her I’d make some. “Thank you thank you thank you! I can’t wait! I want to surprise my mother with them. Our recipe was lost to the last generation. I should have paid more attention.” Well here you go. I hope these cookies match your memories.

Pignoli cookies are moist and soft with crunchy toasted pine nuts on top. Eat them right away or store them for up to a week in a sealed container. Only problem is I usually don’t have any left to store.

I love pignoli cookies so much I can’t wait for Christmas and make them all year long.

Buon Natale. Buon appetito!

Pignoli Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 pound almond paste
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 1/2 cup pine nuts

Cooking Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly butter the baking sheet.
  3. Put the almond paste in a food processor and pulse until it is finely crumbled. (Canned almond paste is preferred over paste in a tube. Canned paste yields a less grainy dough.)
  4. Add the sugar and process until the paste and sugar are well incorporated.
  5. Add the egg whites, one at a time and pulse until the dough is smooth but not overly wet. You want a fairly stiff dough so you can form the cookies in the palm of your hand.
  6. Spread the pine nuts out on a plate.
  7. Form a tablespoon of the dough into a ball with your hands.
  8. Coat the ball with pine nuts.
  9. Place them on the baking sheet and lightly press them down to flatten them a bit and to secure the pine nuts.
  10. Leave some room between the cookies. They will spread a bit as they bake.
  11. Bake until the cookies until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. The cookies should be soft and springy to the touch.
  12. Cool on a wire rack.
  13. You can store the cookies in a sealed container for about a week. (You should be so lucky that they will last that long.)
  14. Makes about 30 pignoli cookies.

  • This is exactly how they tasted. I’m now embarrassed that it was such a simple recipe to forget. Thank you again. Merry Christmas!

      • They came out great! Expensive, though, here in the southeast. There aren’t too many Italians around to shop I guess. Next year I’ll be more prepared and order ingredients online. You’d think there was a pine nut shortage.

        I ended up making mind more skinny. I think the great aunts liked to eat them with coffee and shaped them accordingly.
