I saw a recipe this weekend and decided to give it a try but wanted to substitute my own ingredients in place of what the original recipe recommended. I am not a fan of super-sweet foods and these bars deliver just the right amount of sugar to make them yummy but not overpowering.
The next time I make these I think I will experiment with drizzling some melted dark vegan chocolate on top!
ENJOY!
Growing up my mom always made pignoli cookies during the holidays. They are so delicious and are perfect during the afternoon with a cup of tea or fancy enough to be served for dessert.
I must warn you, however, both the pine nuts and almond paste are a bit pricey. WalMart sells the same almond paste as high-end grocery stores but a few dollars less expensive.
These cookies can be stored, at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container for several days.
ENJOY!
