   Recipe by: Midwest Living, December 1994
       Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a very large mixing bowl, stir
   together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking ammonia and salt. Cut in the
   butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the eggs and lemon
   peel; mix well to form a dough. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to
   1/8-inch thickness.  Cut into shapes with 2 ro 3-inch cookie cutters. Place
   the cutouts on ungreased cookie sheets. Combine the egg white and water;
   brush over the tops of the cookies. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 8 to 10
   minutes, or until golden.  Remove to a wire rack to cool. Drizzle with
   melted chocolate, if you like.  Makes 60 to 84 cookies.
   
       Penny Halsey Note:  To spread out your baking tasks, you can mix up the
   dough one day and chill it overnight. Then, roll out and bake the cookies
   the next day.  You can store baked cookies in the freezer for up to 6
   months.
