Pignoli Cookies - Can be made Vegan

Go to any good Italian bakery and you will Pignoli cookies. They are fast, easy and very delicious!  I made the vegan version for my daughter and son-in-law's first anniversary party.  People had a hard time believing they were vegan!  They were a big hit!  
To make these super simple recipes you will need:

2 8-ounce cans almond paste

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons honey

Pinch ground cinnamon

Pinch fine salt

2 large egg whites (vegan - Ener-G egg replacer)

1/2 to 3/4 cups pine nuts 

1.)  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line sheet trays with parchment paper.

2.)  In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the almond paste until it is crumbly. Move the almond paste to a mixing bowl.  Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on slow speed until well combined.
3.)  Add the honey, cinnamon, salt and egg whites and beat on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and very thick, about 5 minutes.
4.)  Fill a large baggie with the dough. Push the dough towards the corner and cut the tip off the bag. Pipe 1-inch balls onto the prepared sheet trays. Top with the pine nuts, pressing them into the dough to secure. Bake until the cookies are golden, 12 to 14 minutes.
