Default Cinnamon Triangles

I bake Christmas cookies every year, unfortunately I'm not in TV yet otherwise I'd make a bunch for all of you. This is the one recipe I have the most requests for repeats:

Cinnamon Triangles

1 c. butter or margarine
1 c. packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg, separated
2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Line a 15x10 inch jelly -roll pan with foil.

Cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in egg yolk, flour and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until blended, then 1/2 cup walnuts.

Press dough evenly over bottom of prepared pan. With a fork, beat egg white until frothy. Brush over dough.

Mix granulated sugar with the remaining cinnamon and walnuts. Sprinkle evenly over dough. Press in slightly to set into dough.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Cool slightly in pan on wire rack. Lift foil by ends onto cutting board. Trim to a 14x10 inch rectangle. Cut into 2-inch squares. Cut each square diagonally into 2 triangles. Store cookies airtight up to 2 weeks or freeze.

These are crispy and quite delicious dipped in coffee or tea.

Enjoy!
