1 . Stage

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

2 . Stage

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

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.
