 Categories: Five, Nuts, Citrus, Cookies, Snacks
      Yield: 12 servings
 
     16 oz Almond paste
      1 c  Granulated sugar
      2 lg Egg whites
      2 ts Orange zest
  1 1/4 c  Pine nuts
           Confectioners' sugar for
           - dusting; optional
 
  Set oven @ 350┬░F/175┬░C.
  
  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  
  Break up the almond paste a bit into the bowl of a food
  processor. Pulse until the paste has been transformed
  into small crumbs. Add the sugar and pulse a few more
  times. The almond paste will be the texture of cornmeal.
  
  Add the egg whites and orange zest. Process to make a
  smooth dough, about 30 seconds.
  
  Pour the pine nuts into a wide bowl. Divide the dough
  into 24 portions, each will be about 2 tablespoons.
  
  Roll each cookie into a ball and then drop it into the
  pine nuts so that one side of the cookie is covered in
  pine nuts and one side has none. Flip the cookie out of
  the pine nuts and onto the baking sheet so that the side
  with the pine nuts faces up.
  
  Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool
  on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer the
  cookies to a cooling rack.
  
  Once the cookies are cool, dust them with confectioners'
  sugar.
  
  Cookies will keep for up to one week.
