- Add the egg white to the almond paste mixture and mix until you have a smooth dough.
- Place the pine nuts in a shallow dish.
- Take small amounts of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the pine nuts, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
