Cinnamon Sticks

Cream sugar and butter. Add egg yolk. Beat well. Add flour, which has been sifted with cinnamon. With hand, knead dough in bowl until mixture holds together. Spread dough on ungreased cookie sheet into a 14" by 9" rectangle. (You can roll the dough gently with a floured rolling pin.) Beat egg white slightly. Brush onto cookie dough. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 275 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes until lightly browned. As soon as cookie sheet is removed from oven, cut rectangle lengthwise into 3 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 1-inch-wide pieces. Remove to wire rack to cool.
