You either do it like this if you have the money for a lot of nuts, or like how my broke ass family always made them, with just a few on top of each cookie to stretch what we pine nuts we bought.
to the people calling these gross in the comments: you're so wrong. pignoli nut cookies are absolutely stellar. they are made with almond flour and are very soft on the inside, with a slightly crispy outside. these are best consumed like 4 at a time, but yes, they are very expensive to make. however, CEO of cheapskates needs to learn to share his cookies.
They’re soft. They’re ground up for use as an ingredient in pesto which definitely isn’t crunchy. Basil, pignoli (pine nuts), Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Who’d have thought it’d be so good just from that
Eh pignoli kinda look like that. They're almost certainly softer than you'd expect, that's more or less what the almond paste is in there for - crispy exterior fluffy/chewy interior.
It’s a light cotton fabric that got so overused in furnishings etc that it ended up being considered incredibly tacky (something “chintzy” is cheap and lowvalue). Usually in verb form it’s “chintz out” not just “chintz” though, which really does sound like a slur
My mother, born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., before World War II, used the word "chintzy" virtually every day as a put-down for anything (room decor, clothing, social-event arrangements, budgets, food portions, etc.) -- usually correctly -- poor and inadequate, not because of real poverty but because of the offender's bad taste and stinginess/cheapness. "The furniture in their house is so chintzy I could hardly sit down in there." "So they had the office party anyway but the whole thing was so chintzy everyone had a horrible time."
I make cookie boxes every year for my coworkers. I think it cost me around $300 for 20 cookie boxes, fully stuffed and with more cookies left over that I pawned off to my husband’s office. Of course silly me I should have factored in my hourly rate. I guess no cookies next year guys just too expensive in this economy.
I think it’s a joke. He likes to bake and spent more money and time than intended.
It's a joke, but it's also a humble brag.
I didnt pick up humble anywhere. Just a shitty joke about his strange looking cookies to insert his hourly rate in a post.
If you look at those cookies, you'll realize it's not a brag 😄
Yeah, but it also seems like a really bad joke that is probably the kind his coworkers already hate.
These are the least appealing cookies I have ever seen in my life
And pine nuts are expensive as hell. I'd probably prefer these with just a single pecan or almond and a sugar coating.
Pine nuts are amazing though, they probably taste good
They are one of my all time favorite Italian cookies. So good with a cup of coffee.
Yeah, they just don't look all that fancy.
You either do it like this if you have the money for a lot of nuts, or like how my broke ass family always made them, with just a few on top of each cookie to stretch what we pine nuts we bought.
They're quite nice, just a chewy almond cookie.
That’s anti-Italian discrimination.
In this house Frank Vitolo is a hero. End of story.
Again, with the rape of the culture?
They look disgusting and the lunatic just broadcasted to the working world that he is cheap.
How many cheap bastards you know making $7 Christmas cookies for coworkers?
I'm sorry, but there is no way in hell the ingredients for each of those cookies is $7.
With markup? Sure. I guess.
Unless they are bigger than they seem. Is there a banana for scale? /s
That’s why I think it’s a joke.
Okay. Sorry. I misunderstood.
Markup is the ONLY way they each cost 7 bucks. See Crumbl
There's the 77,50 in labor costs.
Exactly...and limiting it to one cookie per co-worker is cheap.
Probably not $7, but pignoli are expensive. Something like $40/pound.
I have no idea how someone can spend $7 per cookie on ingredients. Not even with corner shop prices.
That’s fair, but my wallet still can’t afford one
Right? I have never wanted to unsee a cookie before.
I thought they were like peanuts initially and went oh nice that could be delicious.
But pine nuts? Foul. Shove your cookies up your ass Frank.
Maybe they’re pot cookies based on his profile
People really strive for attention on LinkedIn. I don't get it.
It’s just posting on reddit but with far less anonymity.
And really fucking boring and devoid of soul or personality or sincerity
people strive for attention on social media. getting it hinges on an understanding of the human condition
I love me some baked teeth
Me too!
Really not a fan of all that
Hey boss, what's it gonna take for you to never post that again?
Exactly tree fitty!
Teeth cookies, my favourite…
The cookies look fine to me but I’m used to Italian cookies. If it’s such a financial struggle for this doofus, though, why doesn’t he just skip it?

I am frankly shocked seeing people dissing pignoli cookies! I’m offended lol
This could’ve been an email

Can't wait for this Breaking Bad rip-off.
for now its just baking bad(ly)
These take the fucking biscuits
he's nuts
Frank Vitolo just cannot resist showing everyone his nuts
Probably charges his kids hourly rates for "fatherly advice" too
Is no one going to discuss his rate? That’s per cookie… how long did these cookies take to make, and how much does this guy fucking make
They’re getting ready to sue him for breaking their teeth
They’re soft. They’re ground up for use as an ingredient in pesto which definitely isn’t crunchy. Basil, pignoli (pine nuts), Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Who’d have thought it’d be so good just from that
They’re implying the cookie looks dry and hard, I doubt they don’t know what a pine nut is.
Eh pignoli kinda look like that. They're almost certainly softer than you'd expect, that's more or less what the almond paste is in there for - crispy exterior fluffy/chewy interior.
I'll pass on your cookies, thanks! 🤮
Is chintz a slur? Sure sounds like one...

Who up chintzing their nuts
I’ve heard it used in a derogatory manner, but usually to mean tacky or tasteless
No. It means termite eggs. Used in a sentence. “Fuck me, the boss put chintz all over those disgusting cookies!”
well paid asshole lawyer enjoys being asshole for free.
NGL I might actually put up with his bullshit if it means I get to try one of those cookies
Shittin’ bricks
As the cookie said .. “Bite me !”
Thought those were bean piles for a hot second
Then why bother?
Real estate

Ahhh capitalism. Where your value in society is driven by your bank account.
Looks like he’s in the cannabis industry. I better get wasted off of that cookie.
Looks like you found the world’s most expensive cookie
Frank, have deez nuts!
I make cookie boxes every year for my coworkers. I think it cost me around $300 for 20 cookie boxes, fully stuffed and with more cookies left over that I pawned off to my husband’s office.

Does not chintz on the nutz.
Now lawyers are supposed to be good at math?
The math isn’t mathing
To be fair those pine nuts are proudly expensive these days.
Larvae, or pupa.
Who shat these out
Those cookies look like they have insect larvae pods attached.
These look like full ticks
Everything about this is gross including the cookies.
Those cookies look like some kind of nests.
I’ll stick to chocolate chip, thanks. 👀
Those cookies literally look like undigested beans pulled from some poor shmuck's digestive tract.
pine nuts on cookies? i can’t imagine that tasting very good, especially if there's that many
Low tolerance here, will I be ok with half a cookie?
Yeah, no thanks on the cookies…
