around the table: The Cookie That Got Away

I had a list of Christmas cookies I was hoping to make ... but Christmas (and those twelve days of Christmas) were over before this ones had a chance.


When I lived in the "city" (nyc)- there were a lot of wonderful places to eat. While visiting an Italian bakery, I bought a couple of tasty pastries that caught my eye. One was a cookie covered with pignoli (or pine nuts.) Tasty.

They are called Pignoli Amaretti (Pine Nut Cookies) . Well ours are missing the pine nuts ... but all the rest of the ingredients are the same as the recipe.  We did have a few moments to rescue but after all it was our first time making these ... and made a lot of bowls dirty... but in the end ...so very happy to have a tasty treat.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth ... but there are times when a sweet comes in handy.
