Mix sugar, margarine, yolks, water and vanilla. Stir in flour, salt and
soda. Divide dough into halves. Shape each half into roll 7×1-1/2″. Wrap
and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut rolls into
1/8″ slices. Place 1″ apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Beat egg whites
slightly; stir in nuts. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon nut mixture onto half of the
slices, leaving remaining slices plain. Bake until edges begin to brown,
about 6 min. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; cool. Put cookies
together in pairs with Lemon Filling: (beat all ingredients until smooth).
Place nut-topped cookies on top. About 4 dozen cookies.
