Directions

1. 1. Note: To intensify the nut flavor in these cookies, toast the nuts before adding to the dough. To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350 degrees F oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
2. 2. Beat brown sugar, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nuts.
3. 3. Shape dough into rectangle, 10 by 3 inches. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
4. 4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut rectangle into 1/8 inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
5. 5. Bake for six to eight minutes or until light brown. Watch the cookies carefully while they are in the oven to prevent over baking.
6. 6. Cool slightly; transfer from cookie sheet to wire rack.
