1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. flour
Pinch of salt
2 egg whites, slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cover cookie sheets with brown paper. Blend by hand or food processor. Break almond paste in pieces; gradually blend in sugars, flour, salt, egg whites. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto paper-covered cookie sheets or use cookie press.

Press 4-8 pignoli (pine nuts) on cookies; or press 1/2 cherry in center; or plain. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
