Steps:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, fennel seed, and salt in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the flour and mix just until blended.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape the dough into an 8-inch-long log. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line heavy large baking sheets with a silpat or parchment paper. Cut the dough log crosswise into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick slices. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly apart. Press the pine nuts decoratively atop the cookies. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 15 minutes.

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.
PIGNOLI COOKIES (ITALIAN PINE NUT COOKIES)
These are a traditional Italian Christmas cookie, that are chewy, almondy and delicious! We always have a bunch of these cookies on hand around the holidays in my family. **Please note, that the dough will be very sticky and a lil bit of a pain to work with, but they end up being so worth the effort. Adding flour to this dough changes the texture of them somewhat, so I never add it, but that's a personal choice :) These cookies end result are just like I had them as a little girl, and are my absolute favorite!

PIGNOLI AMARETTI (PINE NUT COOKIES)
My most favorite cookies in the world!!! Very expensive to buy in an Italian bakery and this recipe is the best I've ever tasted. I love baking Italian cookies of all kinds, but these are my specialty. When breaking up almond paste it's always nice to have someone sit and do it with you. I usually use that time to chat with my kids. My sister did it with me once too.

BISCOTTI AI PIGNOLI (PINE NUT COOKIES)
This recipe is adapted from "The Talisman Italian Cookbook" by Ada Boni, which is the English translation of the Italian "Talismano della felicita'". This is a classic Italian cookie, which means that it isn't soft and chewy. Rather, it is a bit crisp and meant to be eaten with a warm beverage (coffee, tea, hot milk etc.) to soften it up a bit. It's a nice breakfast cookie, to be enjoyed with your morning coffee.

Steps:
- Put sugar and eggs in top of a double boiler (I improvise with a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan).
- The water should be hot, but not boiling.
- Beat until the mixture is lukewarm.
- Remove from over the hot water and keep beating until foamy and cool.
- Add lemon rind and flour slowly; gently blend into egg mixture.
- Drop by the spoonful (I drop 2 tsp for each cookie) onto buttered and floured baking sheets (or lined with parchment paper).
- Shape into neat circles with your finger, if you wish (this may get a bit messy).
- Leave a 1-inch space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle with the powdered sugar and press the pine nuts in a decorative pattern on each cookie (blanched slivered almonds would probably work just as well, if you don't have pine nuts).
- Let stand for ten minutes and then bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.
