These Italian cookies are rolled in pine nuts (or pignoli); the delicate flavor of the nuts deepens as the cookies bake.

    This isn't a review, but a question about these Pine Nut Cookies... Do these cookies freeze well?

    @gypsy 1118 - I originally tried Costco and some others and they just aren't enough less than what I can afford. The health food stores in my area are over-the-top pricey. It's just my personal challenge I guess. The recipe is so inviting that I'll save my pennies from now on and make it maybe next year! Thanks so much.

    As much as I LOVE pine nuts, I would have to consider the expense as those nuts are $22.99 a pound in my area right now. Any other nutmeat would just not be the same though. Maybe a once a year treat.

    Store in the freezer. To work with sticky dough easier wet your hands.

    It's not a Christmas cookie. Add pink,green,yellow coloring to dough and you have Easter cookies! An Italian church has been selling them at the Easter bake sale for 30 plus years.Do not use too much color...want it to be light.

    These cookies are favorites of my family and friends. When the kids were young, we gathered our own pine nuts and made a family outing of it (nuts are ready around September/October) and the kids loved it. I found the dough easy to make; rolling and coating them are time-consuming but well worth the effort. I cut down on the baking time (10-12 min.) and found that watching and smelling them is the best way to know when they are ready. So far, I found Costco has the best price for pine nuts.
