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.
