	Media: Pignolo;

Pignolo or pignoli (Italian: pinolate, Italian: [pinoˈlaːte], or Italian: pignolate, Italian: [piɲɲoˈlaːte]) are a type of cookie originating in Neapolitan, Genovese, and Umbrian cuisine.^[5]^[6]^[7] It is a popular cookie in all of southern Italy, and in Sicilian communities in the United States.^[8]

Pignolo is a light golden color and studded with golden pine nuts (pinoli in Italian). Made with almond paste and egg whites, the cookie is moist, soft and chewy.^[9]^[10]

Often they are formed into crescents;^{[citation needed]} otherwise the cookies are round.^[11] Pignoli are a popular Italian holiday treat, especially at Christmas. Because both almond paste and pine nuts are relatively expensive, and this cookie uses substantial amounts of both, it is a luxury food.^[12]

Being essentially an almond macaroon, this cookie belongs to a type known as amaretto.^[13]
