I made a promise...

...so here they are!  Veronica's (the winner of my second giveaway) choice for favorite Italian dessert to have with espresso/coffee...pignoli cookies!

I went right to Lidia's recipe, and couldn't believe how easy it was...and how delicious the cookies are!  Next time though, I'll keep these two things in mind...

- The cookies spread way more than I thought they would...so, don't place them too close together.

- The recipe says to "pinch" the dough and roll it in your hand.  Well, the dough was REALLY wet and sticky.  I even sprayed my hands with cooking spray but it didn't help.  So, I sprayed a spoon, scooped up the dough and set it on the pan, then sprinkled the pignoli nuts on top.  I suggest you do the same.

Try them out - they're SO easy, and they taste terrific.  Can't wait to have another one later with my coffee :)
