Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams almond paste 7 oz
  • cup granulated white sugar 70 grams
  • cup powdered sugar 50 grams
  • 1 egg white medium
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ teaspoon pure almond extract optional
  • 1 cup pine nuts 160 grams for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Process Almond Paste: Cut the almond paste into pieces and process in a food processor until fully broken apart. It's best to buy almond paste from a grocery store for consistent quality.
  • Mix Sugars and Almond Paste: Add granulated and powdered sugars to the processor and blend until combined.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Add egg white, salt, and optional almond extract. Process until the mixture forms a sticky, cookie-like batter. If the batter is too thin, gradually add almond flour until it reaches the right consistency.
  • Form Cookies: Use a mini ice cream scoop or measuring spoon to form dough balls. Roll each ball in pine nuts. Wet your palms to prevent sticking.
  • Shape and Bake: Place the dough balls on the baking sheet. Gently press down with a wet measuring cup or hand. Bake for 16-20 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool, then sprinkle with icing sugar. Enjoy.
