Martha Stewart's Pine Nut Cookies
Recently, the nice folks at
Oh! Nuts offered me some of their fruits and nuts. They sent me some really big bags of
macadamia nuts,
dried blueberries, and
pine nuts or pignolias. I used the dried blueberries in the
Kugelholf, and couldn't wait to try the pine nuts.
The recipe has very few incredients: pine nuts, almond paste, powdered sugar, vanilla, egg, flour, baking powder and salt. Easy peasy. Here is the
recipe on Martha's website.
You need a food processor to grind up some of the nuts for the dough. You roll the balls o' dough in the rest of the nuts. Be sure to make the balls small, or you'll never get the 3 dozen yield. I made several large ones until I realized this.
I think I got my best review ever from one of my co-workers...she said these cookies brought her back to Italy!
By the way, if you are here looking for a Tuesdays with Dorie pie, I'll have that up by the end of the T-Day weekend. Our TWD group got an extension due to the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you get to spend time with your friends and family!
Thanks
Oh! Nuts for the delicious nuts! I'm going to make an Italian pignoli and honey tart next! So, if you want to bring yourself to Italy, try these cookies - find Martha's recipe
