Hazelnut Cookies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Line several baking sheets with rice paper.

In a medium-size bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.

Very carefully fold hazelnuts, sugar, lemon peel and cinnamon into egg whites until mixture is smooth.

Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a ¾ inch-plain tip.

Pipe small circles, about 1½ inches in diameter, onto prepared baking sheets, spacing well apart.

Place a cherry quarter in the center of each circle.

Bake 20 minutes or until very lightly browned.

Remove from oven; leave cookies on baking sheets until cool.

When cool, remove cookies and peel paper off each one.
