Bones of the Dead, as these are called, are much improved by the addition of ground cloves and almond or vanilla extract. Also, though some reviewers show signs of paranoia, of course babies can eat egg whites! They've been doing it for millennia!

Okay, I thought my crazy gramma made up deadbones until I found this recipe! These are fantastic! I tripled the almond extract and added a tbsp of mexican vanilla to really vamp up the flavour, then dusted the finished cookies with powdered sugar and served them with a raspberry sauce for dipping. They were a real hit, everyone loved the morbid name. The only problem was the dough was really sticky, but I just coated the baking sheet and my hands with flour and it worked fine. I probably ended up kneading in an extra 1/2 cup flour.
