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.
