"Dan Pelosi famously loves a holiday cookie swap. On his Instagram account, @grossypelosi, and personal website, the recipe developer has chronicled many of his cookie parties over the years, during which he rolls brown butcher's paper atop a large table and invites guests to drop by with their treats, open-house-style. Some of Pelosi's cookie recipes - like for a fig-filled Italian classic cuccidati - landed in his 2023 cookbook, ."
"This pignoli cookie recipe also comes from Italian tradition: translating to "pine nuts" in Italian, these chewy almond cookies feature a pine nut-studded exterior. (Pelosi calls them the "royalty of Italian sweets.") For day-of hosting ease, the dough can be premade and placed in the fridge for up to three days before baking, or frozen for up to one month beforehand."
A holiday cookie swap tradition involves spreading brown butcher's paper on a large table and inviting guests to drop by with treats, open-house-style. Pignoli cookies are Italian chewy almond cookies with a pine nut-studded exterior, often called the royalty of Italian sweets. Ingredients listed include 24 ounces almond paste, 1½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup powdered sugar, two large egg whites, and 16 ounces pine nuts. The oven is preheated to 350°F and pans are lined with parchment. Almond paste, sugars, and egg whites are beaten into a sticky dough, which can be formed into balls and rolled in pine nuts before baking.
