1 teaspoon grated orange peel

1 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 3/4 cups (245g) all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups (375ml) salted almonds, slivered or chopped

With an electric 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 blended.

Cover and chill until firm enough to

handle, at least an hour or up to a

day.

Lightly flour your hands and pinch off

a three-tablespoon size piece of dough.

On a lightly floured board, use the palms

of both hands to evenly roll an 8-inch (20 cm)

long rope. Cut rope in half; roll each

half out again to 8 inches (20 cm). Fold

an inch of each end back onto rope and

pinch ends to make bone shapes. Repeat

to shape all the dough.

Place bones an inch apart on a buttered and

flour-dusted baking sheets. Bake at 325 degrees F

(165 degrees C) for about 20 minutes until cookies

are lightly browned on bottoms.
