Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir pine nuts in the hot skillet until toasted and fragrant about 5 minutes.

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.

Step 4

Spread corn flakes into a shallow baking dish. Form dough into balls about 1 tablespoon per cookie; roll each in the corn flakes pressing gently to coat. Arrange cookies 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown about 23 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheets and dust with confectioners' sugar.
