Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 3

Beat white sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs 1 at a time into creamed butter mixture beating well after each addition. Whisk flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Fold pine nuts into dough.
