Time 1h30m

Yield About 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 7-ounce tube almond paste
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons cherry jam, large pieces chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Break up the almond paste and put it in a large bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and salt. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until the mixture looks like fine crumbs, about 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat in the egg white until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until just combined.
  • Scoop tablespoon-size balls of dough and roll in the pine nuts to coat. Arrange 1 inch apart on the prepared pan. Press a thin wooden spoon handle or chopstick into each ball to make a deep indentation in the center.
  • Bake until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center, 22 to 26 minutes. Re-indent the cookies with the back of a small measuring spoon while still warm. Fill with the cherry jam. Let the cookies cool completely on the pans.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. I probably won't make them again.

The cherry filling was a bit runny. I think I'll try using a thicker jam next time.

The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste.

I found that the cookies spread a bit too much in the oven. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time.
