My friend Gina asked me for a good pignoli cookie recipe. Here it is, and I hope you enjoy it.
The pignoli cookies are a little tasty “pasticcini” made with almond paste and covered with toasted pine nuts.
It is a perfect mix of almonds and pine nuts, combining taste and flavor.
You can gather your friends on a Saturday afternoon, when you’re free from work, have a good cup of tea, and eat delicious 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.
