Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup pine nuts
1 cup white sugar
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder, or as needed
4 cups crushed corn flakes
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir pine nuts in the hot skillet until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat white sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs, 1 at a time, into creamed butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Whisk flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Fold pine nuts into dough.
  • Spread corn flakes into a shallow baking dish. Form dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon per cookie; roll each in the corn flakes, pressing gently to coat. Arrange cookies, 1-inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 23 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheets and dust with confectioners' sugar.

These cookies are way too expensive for what you get. I could buy a whole bag of pine nuts for less money.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites in my fridge, so I'm always looking for new recipes to use them up. These cookies are the perfect solution.
