-----------------------------------ICING-----------------------------------
1 Egg white
1 1/2 c Confectioner's sugar
1 ts Water
In small mixer bowl, beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form (tips curl
over). Gradually beat in the 1 cup of superfine sugar, beating until stiff
peaks form (tips stand straight up). Stir together nuts, flour, and spices;
fold in beaten egg whites. Let mixture rest 30 minutes or longer so nuts
can absorb mixture. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness on surface lightly
sprinkled with powdered sugar. Cut with star-shapped cookie cutter(*).
Place on greased baking sheet. Bake in 325øF oven for 10 - 15 minutes. Cool
on rack. (*) Dough scraps may be rerolled to 1/2-inch thickness and cut
with scalloped cutter. Bake in 325øF oven for 20 minutes. Store in covered
container.
ICING: Beat 1 egg white slightly. Gradually stir in the remaining 1 1/2 c
confectioner's sugar. Add water till icing is of spreading consistency.
