Put almonds, chopped pine nuts, sugar, salt and lemon peel in a bowl and mix. Beat the egg whites with the whisks of the hand mixer until almost stiff and carefully fold into the nut mixture.
Spread cherry-sized piles of dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Leave a little space between them, because the macaroons run apart during baking. Place 2 pine nuts on each pile of dough and bake in a preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 10 minutes until they are golden brown at the edges.
Allow to cool briefly on the tray. Results in about 85 cookies.
