Title: Kisses #1
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 36 servings
4 Egg whites
1 lb Confectioners sugar
1 ts Lemon juice
3/4 lb Walnuts; broken into
-quarters
If you have egg whites left over from other recipes, use them for making
kisses. For the holidays you can dress them up by sprinkling some green
sugar or red cinnamon hearts on each kiss to make them more festive.
Preheat oven to 250. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff; add
sugar and lemon juice. Continue beating on high speed until mixture is very
stiff (this takes a few minutes). Stir in nuts.
With a teaspoon, place small mounds on a greased and floured cookie
sheet. Bake at 250 for about 30 minutes. Kisses should be set, but not
brown.
Variation: Substitute chocolate chips for walnuts. Yield: 3 dozen.
