INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast almonds on a cookie sheet until golden,
about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly. Turn off oven; set nuts aside. Combine
lemon peel, egg whites and sugar in a large mixing bowl. With an electric
mixer, beat mixture on high speed for 2 minutes, until it is white, frothy
and the sugar has dissolved. Stir in almonds, almond extract, flour and
baking powder. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate until well
chilled. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with
nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Lightly flour your
hands and roll small pieces of dough into 3-inch logs. Fold the tips of
each log back to form bulges at both ends. Press in the center of each
bulge to make an indentation -- like the ends of a leg bone. Place the
cookies about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20
minutes, until golden. Remove from baking sheet; let cool completely on a
rack.
