1. Pignoli Cookies Recipe Instruction

   1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
   3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
   4. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts into the egg whites.
   5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture until a dough forms.
   6. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
   7. Press a few pine nuts onto the top of each cookie, gently flattening them.
   8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
   9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   10. Allow the cookies to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
   
   Ensure the almond flour is finely ground for the best texture. If powdered sugar is not available, you can pulse granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground.
