PIGNOLI COOKIES
There are two kinds of pignoli cookies I grew up eating. While the crunchy version is also delicious, I am a sucker for the sweet chewiness of this soft, meringue-y version. They are also gluten free so I like to include them on holiday plates so everyone has something to enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Break apart the almond paste in the bowl of a food processor. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, salt and egg white and pulse until smooth. Scoop 1-tablespoon balls of dough directly into the pine nuts and gently roll them in the pine nuts, pressing gently to adhere. (The dough is soft but the pine nuts will help make it easier to handle.)
- Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned around the edges and puffed, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool completely on the tray before removing them with an offset spatula.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Break up the almond paste into a food processor. Process about 15 seconds until paste is evenly broken up. Add granulated sugar and process another 30 seconds until mixture is smooth.
- In electric mixer, beat eqq whites until soft peaks form. Beat in almond extract. Add almond paste mixture to egg whites one cup at a time, beating after each addition.
- Place pignoli nuts in shallow dish. Drop 3/4 teaspoon of almond paste mixture into nuts. Form into ball - it will be soft and not quite perfect. Place on aluminum foil cut to fit cookie sheets. Place cookies 1" apart (approximately 20 per sheet). Bake approximately 15 minutes, until cookie and nuts are golden brown. If you bake two cookie sheets at a time, alternate placement of cookie sheets after 7 minutes of cooking to ensure even browning.
- When cookies are done, slide foil off cookies sheets and leave cookie on sheets until cookies are cool.
- Store in plastic container or freeze (they freeze perfectly just place in a plastic contained lined with aluminum foil or wax paper, cover tightly).

PIGNOLI COOKIES
Pignoli cookies are standard at any Italian bakery. But they are the simplest of cookies to make at home, mixed in one bowl and ready in under an hour. Anne Burrell's special touch? A bit of honey.
