Pignoli cookies, a classic Italian treat, combine a soft almond-flavored center with a crunchy pine nut topping. Renowned for their simplicity and delicious taste, these cookies are a favorite for many occasions, especially during Christmas and Mother's Day. They are gluten-free, making them a great choice for those with dietary restrictions. The cookies require a handful of ingredients, including almond paste and egg whites, and can be prepared quickly, ensuring they're perfect for any time you want to spread joy with baked goods.
I love the rich almond flavor in these, and how they are soft in the center, but the pine nuts give the outside a nice crunch.
I make these every year during the Christmas season and give them out to everyone I know, but I also like to make them around Mother's Day.
If you want to brighten someone's day with a traditional Italian treat that just happens to be gluten-free, you can't go wrong with these.
Pignoli cookies are super simple to whip up, ready to go whenever the occasion calls for it.
