Ingredients: 1 1/2
cups
sugar 1
Tbsp
almond paste 1/2
tsp
salt 4
large
eggs 2
cups
flour 1/2
tsp
baking powder 2
tsp
almond extract 2
Tbsp
pine nuts 2
Tbsp
confectioners' sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a mixing bowl over hot but not
boiling water, or use a big double boiler. Put the sugar, almond
paste, salt, and eggs into the bowl, and beat for 5 minutes, or until
the mixture is lukewarm and looks like pancake batter. Make sure that
the almond paste is well beaten also. Take the bowl off the hot water
and continue beating for another 5 minutes, or until the batter is
cool and looks almost like frosting. Sift the flour with the baking
powder and fold it gently into the batter. Add the almond extract and
fold again. Using a teaspoon, drop cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on
buttered and floured cookie sheets, decorate with pine nuts, and
sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Let stand about 5 minutes, and
then bake for 15 minutes (at 350 degrees), or until toasty and crisp
on the outside.
