Ingredients

  • 1 (7-ounce) tube almond paste, crumbled coarsely
  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pine nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment; set aside.
  • Add the almond paste and confectioners' sugar to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined.
  • Add the egg white, honey, and salt and continue to pulse until the mixture is smooth and thick about 1 minute.
  • Add pine nuts to a mixing bowl. Using a small cookie scoop portion the dough, one at a time, onto the pine nuts. Roll dough to cover with pine nuts. Place on prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven until edges are set and begin to brown, about 16-19 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
