Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 12 ounces almond paste
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 4 eggs whites , divided
• 1.5 cups pine nuts
• all-purpose flour for rolling

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with foil; lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.
2. 2 Place almond paste and white sugar in a food processor; blend until combined. Add confectioners' sugar and 2 egg whites; blend until smooth.
3. 3 Whisk remaining 2 egg whites in a small bowl. Place pine nuts on a shallow plate.
4. 4 With lightly floured hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls. Coat balls in egg whites, shaking off excess, then roll in pine nuts, pressing lightly to stick.
5. 5 Arrange balls on cookie sheets, and flatten slightly to form a 1 1/2-inch round.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Let stand on cookie sheets briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
