18:44:03 +1100 In response to a recent request  for recipes for some
Italian biscuits/ cookies made with  pignoli....here is a collection of
a variety of different types which  are popular in Italy...I hope they
please!!  Fave dei morti literally means "beans of the dead" and are
traditionally eaten in Italy on All Souls Day, November 2.  Grind nuts,
a few at a time, until they have a flour-like  consistency. In a bowl,
mix the nuts with the sugar, baking powder  and flour. Stir in the egg
whites with a heavy spoon, mixing until  dough sticks together.  Shape
in teaspoon sized balls and flatten slightly on a greased baking
sheet; do not allow cookies to touch.  With a teaspoon handle, press
in one edge of the cooky round to make a bean-like indentation.  Bake
in a 375F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until pale brown. Cool on wire
racks; store airtight. Makes about 5.5 dozen.  REC.FOOD.RECIPES
