Directions
Beat egg whites and sugar with lemon peel and baking powder until smoothly blended.
With a heavy spoon, work the nuts in thoroughly, then the flour.
Lightly flour your hands then pinch off tablespoon sized lumps of dough and shape like short sturdy bones.
Place cookies on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 375℉ (190℃) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until pale brown.
Cool on wire racks. Store airtight.
You don't have to shape them into bones, but it looks cute.
