Bone Cookies
contributed by Linda Guthertz Sullivan (coli)

4 large egg whites
1 tsp grated orange peel
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 C minced salted, roasted almonds
1 3/4C all purpose flour

Put mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites and sugar with orange peel
and baking powder until blended. Gradually add nuts and flour,
beating until mixture is thoroughly mixed. Cover and chill until
firm enough to handle (1 hr up to 1 day).
Lightly flour your hands and pinch off a 3T size of dough. On a
lightly floured board use the palms of your hands to roll an 8 inch
long rope. Cut rope in half, Roll each half again out to 8
inches. Fold 1 inch of each end back onto rope. Pinch ends to make
bone-end shapes. Repeat until all dough is shaped

Place bones 1 inch apart on buttered-flour dusted cookie sheet. Bake
in 325 oven until cookies are lightly browned on bottom (about
20min). Transfer bones to racks to cook, using spatula.

Store in airtight container up to 3 days. Makes about 24 great
cookies. Well worth the effort!!!
