| 1 | Sliced almonds - (2.25 oz) - (1/2 cup) | |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Freshly grated lemon peel (yellow |
| Rind of 1/2 lemon) | ||
| 4 | Egg whites | |
| 1 cup | 198g / 7oz | Granulated sugar |
| 1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Almond extract |
| 5 1/2 cups | 343g / 12oz | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Baking powder |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast almonds on a cookie sheet until golden, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly. Turn off oven; set nuts aside.
Combine lemon peel, egg whites and sugar in a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, beat mixture on high speed for 2 minutes, until it is white, frothy and the sugar has dissolved. Stir in almonds, almond extract, flour and baking powder. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate until well chilled.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your hands and roll small pieces of dough into 3-inch logs. Fold the tips of each log back to form bulges at both ends. Press in the center of each bulge to make an indentation -- like the ends of a leg bone.
Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden. Remove from baking sheet; let cool completely on a rack.
