Pinolate ( pl.: Italian: [pinoˈlaːte]) or pignolate (Italian: [piɲɲoˈlaːte], sg.: pinolata / pignolata) are a type of cookie originating in Neapolitan, Genovese and Umbrian cuisine.^[5]^[6]^[7] They are popular in all of southern Italy, and in Sicilian communities in the United States, where they may also be known as pignoli (sg.: pignolo).^[8]

The cookies are light golden color and studded with golden pine nuts (pinoli in Italian). Made with almond paste and egg whites, they are moist, soft and chewy.^[9]^[10]^[11]

Pinolate are a popular Italian holiday treat, especially at Christmas. Because both almond paste and pine nuts are relatively expensive and these cookies use substantial amounts of both, it is a luxury food.^[12]

Being essentially an almond macaroon, pinolate belong to a type known as "amaretto".^[13]
