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

I never thought of putting pine nuts in cookies before, what a cool recipe!
Oh I LOVE pine nuts! These look delicious!
Oh I bet those are a tasty little cookie & I just happen to have some almond paste I don't know what to do with
Your cookies look great! I don't use pine nuts very much. I've seen quite a few people using stuff from Oh! Nuts; I may have to check them out.
Those are a true Italian Christmas cookie - I haven't had one in years. Too bad I can't reach through the screen to get one!!
These are so cute and a nice sweet way to use pine nuts.
They look beautiful.
Happy Thanksgiving!

i'm not a cookie fan, but these are stunners!!!
These cookies look fabulous and I know that my husbands Italian family would LOVE them for Christmas. Good luck with your pie, can't wait to see how it turns out. Happy Thanksgiving!
I just stumbled upon your blog (no idea how, you know how that goes!) and these cookies look so yummy. I love pretty much anything with almond paste, so I'll have to give these a try!

I LOVE the look of those! If you knew how much I LOVE pinenuts! They're just soooooooo expensive here!
pine nuts? almond paste? these are so for me. They look pretty simple to make and sound delicious. I want one right now with my coffee. yum!
I've been wondering about Pine Nut cookies lately. Wondering if they were any good. Glad to see that they're worth trying!
Too bad the nut people didn't offer you extra nuts for a giveaway! That would have been nice :)
