Skeleton Bones
4 egg whites
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspon baking powder
1 1/2 cups salted almonds
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites and sugar
with orange peel and baking powder until blended.  Gradually add
nuts and flour, beating until mixture is thoroughly mixed.  Cover
and chill until firm enough to handle, at least 1 hour or up to 1
day.
Lightly flour your hands and pinch off a 3 tb size piece of dough.
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.  Fold 1 inch of each end back onto rope; pinch
ends to make bone-end shapes.  Repeat to shape all the dough.
Place bones 1 inch apart on buttered and flour-dusted 12 x 15 inch
baking sheets.  Bake in a 325F oven until cookies are lightly
browned on bottoms, about 20 minutes.
