The cookies tasted ok but I had to refrigerate them over night in order to roll them into balls because the dough was to sticky and soft. I used parchment paper but I still had to use a metal spatula to remove the cookies and sometimes the middle was left on the paper. I drizzled choc. on them to dress them up a bit. For the money I spent on almond paste and pine nuts I don't think I would use this recipe again. Read More

My grandma makes these all the time. They are the best. The dough supposed to be wet and it kind of looks wrong but thats the way it supposed to be. Read More

(12) I grew up with these cookies at every christmas they have always been my favorite cookies ive only just started to bake them myself but they are very easy to make. I buy my pine nuts at warehouse stores (like BJ's) and my almond paste from a local bakery together this lowers the price almost in half. Read More

(6) I brought these cookies into the office and they were a HUGE hit and several people asked me for the recipe! Great with coffee. (I added one step - I drizzled chocolate over them.) Read More

Do you bake the pine nuts before using them in this recipe? Or does it matter? Read More

I followed the directions exactly. The dough was too sticky and soupy to roll into balls even after chilling. I finally used a cookie scoop and just piled the nuts on top. I have made these cookies before, but this recipe sounded easier. The cookies flattened out into each other. For the amount of money and time I spent on these cookies, I would not recommend this recipe. Hoping they taste better than they look. Read More
