    Pignoli Cookies (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Makes 3 dozen.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Ingredients:
    12 ounces almond paste
    ½ cup white sugar
    1 cup confectioners sugar
    4 egg whites
    1 ½ cups pine nuts

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 325F. Line two cookie sheets with foil; lightly grease foil. Mix almond paste and granulated sugar in food processor until smooth. Add confectioners sugar and 2 egg whites; process until smooth.

    Whisk remaining 2 egg whites in small bowl. Place pine nuts on shallow plate. With lightly gluten-free floured hands roll dough into 1 inch balls. Coat balls in egg whites, shaking off excess, then roll in pine nuts, pressing lightly to stick. Arrange balls on cookie sheets, and flatten slightly to form a 1 ½ inch round. Bake 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Let stand on cookie sheet 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

    This was an excellent recipe. I did not however roll them into balls. I put the nuts in a flat dish. I used 2 teaspoons, scooped up dough in one teaspoon, dipped it into the nuts, and pushed it onto a silpat with the other teaspoon. This also alleviated the need to used a gluten free flour adding more calories. They baked great and the taste just as good as my traditional cookies. I also used Italian and Spanish nuts, not the Chinese ones. The Chinese nuts are too small and I wanted the presentation of the cookies to look like my traditional ones so no one would know the difference. The recipes are close, but my traditional Italian cookie does have regular flour. But I stress, I did not notice a difference. These are a winner!

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Ever since my husband diagnose with celiac disease, he was a littlebit depressed because he could not just simple go and grab something toeat. At the beginning, he tried to keep an open mind and went to storesthat sell gluten-free products. Most of the time, he was disappointedwith the taste of the products. One day, he came home from work andtold me how his co-workers teased him with a yummy looking chocolatechips cookie and he felt extremely depressed because he could not eatthem and he absolutely LOVES to snack. I found his co-workers' actionvery childish and decided that I would create a recipe the my husbandwould love and he could has plenty of supply at work so when the samesituation ever happen again, he would be prepared.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      Hi, I am new! (Although I've used this forum as a reference over the past couple of years.) I'm just looking for some initial reactions to if I actually might possibly have Celiac Disease, or if I'm reaching here. I have had lifelong health issues and not once has a doctor suggested I look into celiac. I always thought it was basically an extreme allergy...

      Everyday life

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work...
