Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the margarine, ½ C sugar and the salt.

Mix in the egg yolk, then the flour until just combined. (The dough will still be crumbly).

Transfer to a baking sheet (with sides) and, with floured hands, press into a thin even layer covering the pan.

Spread the jam evenly over the dough.

In a mixer, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining cup of sugar and the lemon extract and mix until a stiff-peaked meringue forms.

Swirl the meringue over the jam covered dough. Sprinkle with chopped walnits.

Bake until the meringue is hardened, 35-40 minutes.

Cut the cookies in the pan while still warm. Lightly press the broken meringue into the jam layer. Set the sheets on cooling racks.
