Instructions: In response to a recent request for recipes for some Italian biscuits/ cookies made with pignoli....here is a collection of a variety of different types which are popular in Italy...I hope they please!!

In a food processor place the sugar, ground almonds, vanilla and egg whites. Whirl for a minute or so, to form a smooth paste. Mix the whole pine nuts into this mixture and with the help of a spoon form little mounds the size of a walnut on an oiled baking sheet. Dry in the oven at 160C/325F for 10-12 minutes.

Serves 4 - 6.
