Using the symbolism of the pretzels as a reminder to pray, this food can be integral part of our Lenten diet and program. These pretzels are a sweet cookie dough. Surprise the family with sweet pretzels on Sundays during Lent - great for Easter also!

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter
1 to 2 egg yolks
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup cultured sour cream
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
Sugar and chopped almonds

Beat butter till soft. Gradually add sugar; beat till light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, egg yolks and sour cream. Stir in sifted flour. Add baking powder, cinnamon and lemon rind. Chill dough several hours.
