How To make Ossa Da Mordere "Bones To Chew"

x

3 Egg whites
1 3/4 c Sugar
2 ts Lemon peel
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 1/2 c Almonds, blanched
Coarsely chopped 1 3/4 c Flour; unsifted
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 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until pale brown. Cool on wire racks. Store airtight. NB: You don't have to shape them into bones, but it looks cute. Serving Ideas : Nice dunked into coffee or wine. NOTES : These biscuits are so called "bones to chew" because they are hard and pale. They are traditionally baked on All Soul's Day in Italy. Copied by Tom Shunick Oct '95 -----
