Ingredients
  

  • 3 large egg whites room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated cane sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. grated lemon zest or dried lemon peel
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1 3/4 cup 236 gr gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups 6.3 ounces; 180 gr coarsely chopped raw almonds
  • Confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (static).
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.
  • Whip the egg whites until foamy, but not stiff. Add sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, baking powder, nutmeg and cloves. Beat until integrated. Process almonds by chopping to a coarse texture. Add gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose  Flour and chopped almonds and integrate into the egg mixture.
  • Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of dough into your hands and form into small 1/2 inch wide, 3 inch long finger-shaped sticks. Roll in confectioner’s sugar and press your fingertip into the end of each, forming a “U” shape for the ends of the bones. Lay onto prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle confectioner’s sugar over each bone cookie when cooling to make the cookies whiter — like bones.
  • Once cooled, serve or seal in zip-top bags or rubber-sealed containers to keep crisp and fresh. Finished cookies should be crispy on the outside and chewy with a spicy crumb on the inside … delicious on their own, or dunked in coffee, like biscotti (or in sweet Italian wine??!).
  • Yield: approximately 12 large bone cookies.
