Ingredients

• 8 oz (225 g) almond paste
• ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 large egg white
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup (60 g) pine nuts
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the oven
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Mix the dough
   Break the almond paste into pieces and place it in a food processor. Add granulated sugar and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly.
3. Add wet ingredients
   Add the honey, egg white, and salt. Process again until smooth and sticky — the dough should easily hold together.
4. Shape the cookies
   Using a tablespoon or small scoop, form small balls of dough. Roll each ball between your palms to make them smooth.
5. Coat with pine nuts
   Roll each dough ball in pine nuts, pressing gently so they adhere to the surface.
6. Bake
   Arrange cookies on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
7. Cool & dust
   Let the cookies cool completely on the pan. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar.
