   2                    Egg whites
   1 1/2   c            Hazelnuts -- finely ground
     3/4   c            Superfine sugar
   1                    Lemon's peel -- finely grated
     1/2   ts           Ground cinnamon
  10                    Candied cherries -- quartered

  Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).  Line several baking sheets with rice
  paper.  In a medium-size bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
  Very carefully fold hazelnuts, sugar, lemon peel and cinnamon into egg
  whites until mixture is smooth.  Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a
  3/4-inch-plain tip.  Pipe small circles, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter,
  onto prepared baking sheets, spacing well apart.  Place a cherry quarter
  in the center of each circle.  Bake 20 minutes or until very lightly
  browned.  Remove from oven; leave cookies on baking sheets until cool.
  When cool, remove cookies and peel paper off each one.
