Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup pine nuts -- toasted

Combine the eggs and sugar in a heavy saucepan and whisk constantly over
low heat until the mixture is lukewarm and light in texture, about 3-5
minutes. Remove from heat and whisk until cool; gradually stir in the flour
until the batter is smooth.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 2 baking sheets and drop the batter by
teaspoonfuls onto the pan, leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Let sit 5
minutes. Place 4 or 5 pine nuts on top of each cookie and let them sit
another 5 minutes. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
from the baking sheets while still warm and let cool on racks.

[Makes about 36 cookies. 35 cals, 0.7g fat]
