Ingredients:
8 oz. almond paste
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
2 egg whites
4 oz. pine nuts
Preparation:
Preheat
oven to 350°F.
Cut
almond paste into small pieces and beat in a deep bowl with an electric mixer.
Slowly add sugar and keep beating. Slowly add egg whites and mix well, making
sure there are no lumps in dough. Use cooking parchment or cut brown paper
shopping bags to line a cookie sheet. Drop dough from teaspoon onto lined
cookie sheet. Put a second cookie sheet underneath to prevent cookies from
burning. Pat down the tops of cookies with a clean cloth that has been wet with
cold water and wrung out. Pat pine nuts onto top of dampened cookies. Bake for
10-15 minutes until lightly golden brown. Place on cooling rack and use a sharp
knife dipped in hot water to loosen cookies from paper. If they won't come off,
place a damp towel under the sheet of paper and try again. These cookies are
delicious.
