1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Crumble the almond paste or marzipan into a large bowl and mix with the confectioners‘ sugar until you get a breadcrumb-like texture. If you use almond paste it is probably drier and with marzipan a bit moister. Add the egg white, honey, and salt and mix until you get a nice smooth (yet sticky) dough.

2. Add the pine nuts to a small bowl. Use a small cookie scoop* or tablespoon to drop dough portions into that bowl, roll in the pine nuts until covered completely then place with enough space in between on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Bake the cookies for about 15-17 minutes until golden brown and firm. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet until you can move them, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
