List of Ingredients



• 1 tsp grated orange peel
  
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder1 3/4 cup flour
  
• 1 1/2 cup salted almonds (slivered or chopped)
  






Instructions



1. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites
   and sugar with orange peel and baking powder until
   blended.
   
2. Gradually add nuts and flour, beating until mixture
   is thoroughly blended.
   
3. 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.
   
4. On a lightly floured board, use the palms of both hands
   to evenly roll an 8-inch long rope. Cut rope in half;
   roll each half out again to 8 inches.
   
5. Fold an inch of each end back onto rope and pinch ends
   to make bone shapes. Repeat to shape all the dough.
   
6. Place bones an inch apart on a buttered and flour-dusted
   baking sheets. Bake in a 325F oven for about 20 minutes,
   until cookies are lightly browned on bottoms.
