Ingredients
2 cups pine nuts
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup almond paste
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Process 3/4 cup pine nuts and the sugar, almond paste, and vanilla in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add the egg; pulse to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt; process just until the dough comes together.
Step 2
Roll the dough into 3/4-inch balls. Roll the balls in the remaining 1 1/4 cups pine nuts, gently pressing to coat. Space 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Step 3
Bake until the cookies begin to turn golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on the sheets on wire racks.
