Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Use a pastry chopper (or food processor) to break up the almond paste into a granulated form. Put in mixing bowl and gradually add the sugar.
- In another small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the sugar/almond paste mixture gently.
- On a greased and floured cookie sheet, drop a spoonful of the mixture. Press pine nuts into the top of the cookie (you want to cover the top with nuts).
- Bake at 325 degrees F (170 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

These are delicious, but mine turned out really flat and spread out a lot while baking... what went wrong? Is it better to add a little flour? Or are there other tricks?
