                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3 egg whites  |  
                                                1 cup sugar  |  
                                                2 teaspoons ground cinnamon  |  
                                                1 teaspoon grated lemon rind  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups unblanched ground almonds  |  
                                                2 tablespoons all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until soft peaks form; gradually add sugar, cinnamon, and lemon rind, beating until stiff peaks form. Remove 1/2 cup meringue, and set aside. Fold almonds, flour, and salt into remaining meringue. 2. Roll small amounts of dough at a time to 1/4-inch thickness on a heavily floured surface. Cut with a floured star-shaped cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Frost each cookie lightly with reserved meringue. Bake at 300° for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets, and cool completely on wire racks.                              |
