Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, crumble the almond paste and break it up with a fork.

Add the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, egg whites, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.
Step 4
With slightly wet hands, form small balls of dough, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter.
Step 5
Roll each ball in the pine nuts, pressing gently to ensure they adhere to the dough.
Step 6
Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
