Indulge in the authentic taste of Catalonia with these scrumptious Panellets. These traditional Catalan cookies, crafted from marzipan and pine nuts, have a rich and sweet flavor with a hint of citrus. Customarily enjoyed on All Saints' Day, they are a beloved treat that has been a part of Catalan cuisine for centuries. The combination of a soft and chewy interior with a toasted pine nut exterior makes these cookies a delight to the senses.

Servings: 20

Ingredients

Pine nuts
1 cup
Lemon zest
1 tablespoon
Egg
1, beaten
Potato
1 medium, boiled and mashed
Almond flour
2 cups
Sugar
1 cup

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, almond flour, mashed potato, and lemon zest. Stir until the mixture is well blended and forms a dough-like consistency.
  2. Roll the dough into small balls, each about the size of a walnut.
  3. Dip each ball into the beaten egg, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Roll the egg-coated balls in pine nuts, covering them entirely.
  5. Arrange the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, keeping them spaced apart to prevent sticking.
  6. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  7. Bake the panellets in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until they turn a golden-brown color.
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the panellets to cool before serving. This will help them firm up and enhance their flavors.
