A Good Recipe for the Pignoli Cookies

My friend  Gina asked me for a good pignoli cookies’ recipe.

Here it is and I hope you enjoy it.

The pignoli cookies are little tasty “pasticcini” made with almond paste and covered with toasted pine nuts.

A perfect mix of almonds and pine nuts, a perfect combination of taste and flavor.

You can gather your friends together maybe on a Saturday afternoon, when you’re free from work, have a good cup of tea, and eat some scrumptious cookies , like these.

You can use the Sicilian almond pastry recipe, I posted a couple of days ago, with almond flour, or you can use the almond paste, as I did, to make them.
