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.

POMEGRANATE MOLASSES AND PINE NUT COOKIES
Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats http://tinyurl.com/d7b834 - She describes them as "These cookies are to die for-the texture of a crumbly-chewy chocolate chip cookie, studded with buttery pine nuts, perfumed with exotic, but sweet and familiar vanilla. Then there's the flavor you just can't place off the top of your head, that tart, fruity sweetness of the pomegranate molasses. These are very special, with an upscale, artisan flavor, and comforting, addictive sweet texture. Dipped in milk, they're a surprise wrapped in an everyday cookie wrapper."

ROSEMARY PINE NUT COOKIES
These are from a Martha Stewart magazine. I tried them this year for our Thanksgiving cookie plate and they were wonderful. Everyone except my DH loved them..he said, "Ugh, Rosemary is great in chicken, but it does not belong in cookies...chocolate, chocolate belongs in cookies"..bah, what does he know? They a lovely cookie, for a sophisticated palate, , the rosemary is a slight after taste, not overpowering at all. I'm making them again for Christmas .

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Break the marzipan in pieces into a medium-sized bowl. Mix in the sugar, salt, flavorings and almond flour; the mixture will be crumbly. Add the egg white, beating until the mixture is smooth.

Using a teaspoon cookie scoop, or your lightly oiled or wets hands, drop one inch balls of dough into the pine nuts, rolling and pressing gently to coat them thoroughly. You may also simply grab a handful of pine nuts, and roll the dough between your palms, pressing in pine nuts as you go.

- Bake the cookies for 20 to 22 minutes, or until they're lightly browned. Cool them on the pans for five minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
