  • 2/3 cup pine nuts (pignoli)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup AP flour

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, whirl the nuts and pulse until blended down to a fine consistency.

  4. Shape 1-tablespoon of dough onto the prepared baking sheets and flatten slightly with the back of the back of the spoon. Allow about an inch of space between each cookie as they will expand while baking.
