PIGNOLI COOKIES
There are two kinds of pignoli cookies I grew up eating. While the crunchy version is also delicious, I am a sucker for the sweet chewiness of this soft, meringue-y version. They are also gluten free so I like to include them on holiday plates so everyone has something to enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Break apart the almond paste in the bowl of a food processor. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, salt and egg white and pulse until smooth. Scoop 1-tablespoon balls of dough directly into the pine nuts and gently roll them in the pine nuts, pressing gently to adhere. (The dough is soft but the pine nuts will help make it easier to handle.)
- Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned around the edges and puffed, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool completely on the tray before removing them with an offset spatula.

PIGNOLI COOKIES (ITALIAN PINE NUT COOKIES)
These are a traditional Italian Christmas cookie, that are chewy, almondy and delicious! We always have a bunch of these cookies on hand around the holidays in my family. **Please note, that the dough will be very sticky and a lil bit of a pain to work with, but they end up being so worth the effort. Adding flour to this dough changes the texture of them somewhat, so I never add it, but that's a personal choice :) These cookies end result are just like I had them as a little girl, and are my absolute favorite!

BISCOTTI AI PIGNOLI (PINE NUT COOKIES)
This recipe is adapted from "The Talisman Italian Cookbook" by Ada Boni, which is the English translation of the Italian "Talismano della felicita'". This is a classic Italian cookie, which means that it isn't soft and chewy. Rather, it is a bit crisp and meant to be eaten with a warm beverage (coffee, tea, hot milk etc.) to soften it up a bit. It's a nice breakfast cookie, to be enjoyed with your morning coffee.

Steps:
- Put sugar and eggs in top of a double boiler (I improvise with a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan).
- The water should be hot, but not boiling.
- Beat until the mixture is lukewarm.
- Remove from over the hot water and keep beating until foamy and cool.
- Add lemon rind and flour slowly; gently blend into egg mixture.
- Drop by the spoonful (I drop 2 tsp for each cookie) onto buttered and floured baking sheets (or lined with parchment paper).
- Shape into neat circles with your finger, if you wish (this may get a bit messy).
- Leave a 1-inch space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle with the powdered sugar and press the pine nuts in a decorative pattern on each cookie (blanched slivered almonds would probably work just as well, if you don't have pine nuts).
- Let stand for ten minutes and then bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.

ITALIAN PINE NUT COOKIES
This outstanding recipe is different from the other Pignoli submissions on Zaar. It's originally from the King Arthur Flour company and you can buy the ingredients to make them on their web site www.kingarthurflour.com. (I don't work there but I'm a fan of their products.)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Break the marzipan in pieces into a medium-sized bowl. Mix in the sugar, salt, flavorings and almond flour; the mixture will be crumbly. Add the egg white, beating until the mixture is smooth.
- Place the pine nuts in a shallow dish. Using a teaspoon cookie scoop, or your lightly oiled or wets hands, drop one inch balls of dough into the pine nuts, rolling and pressing gently to coat them thoroughly. You may also simply grab a handful of pine nuts, and roll the dough between your palms, pressing in pine nuts as you go.
- Place the cookies on lightly greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets, leaving about one inch between them.
- Bake the cookies for 20 to 22 minutes, or until they're lightly browned. Cool them on the pans for five minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
