Shape dough by heaping teaspoonfuls into ropes, each 6 inches long and ¼ inch thick. For smooth even ropes roll them back and forth on lightly floured cloth covered board. On greased baking sheet shape each roll into a figure 8, letting ends extend ½ inch.

Complete cookies one at a time. Beat egg white until foamy, gradually adding ¼ cup sugar while beating. Brush tops of cookies with sweetened egg white. Bake 15 minutes. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
