Pignoli Cookies

I am really into pine nuts right now - not sure if this is related to pregnancy or not but recently learned they are a superfood so now I have the perfect excuse to find all sorts of ways to incorporate them into recipes.

One of my favorite pine nut recipes is a Lemon Pine Nut Torta, so when I came across this recipe for pignoli (pine nut) cookies in the Martha Stewart Cook Baking Handbook, I had to give it a try.

They are super easy. They are tasty but strong in almond flavor. I found I ate quite a few the first couple of days but they have been lingering around the house ever since which never happens with cookies around here, so I am not sure what to think...

Graham Crackers

Another Martha Stewart Baking Handbook recipe I decided to try out was her recipe for homemade graham crackers. I think they are pretty tasty and they received raves from a three year old so that really says something!

They were pretty easy - not as easy as buying the Nabisco kind, but good for a special occasion.
