Pinolate ( pl.: Script error: No such module "IPA".) or pignolate (Script error: No such module "IPA"., sg.: pinolata / pignolata) are a type of cookie originating in Neapolitan, Genovese and Umbrian cuisine.[1][2][3] They are popular in all of southern Italy, and in Sicilian communities in the United States, where they may also be known as pignoli (sg.: pignolo).[4]
The cookies are light golden color and studded with golden pine nuts (pinoli in Italian). Made with almond paste and egg whites, they are moist, soft and chewy.[5][6][7]
Pinolate are a popular Italian holiday treat, especially at Christmas. Because both almond paste and pine nuts are relatively expensive and these cookies use substantial amounts of both, it is a luxury food.[8]
Being essentially an almond macaroon, pinolate belong to a type known as "amaretto".[9]
