Cinnamon Bars

These are my all-time favorite cookie! Always made at Christmas but other times as well, this is my grandmother's recipe and my mom made them when I was a kid. I baked them as recently as Sunday! Give them a try! Happy Cooking!!!

Cinnamon Bars

1 Cup Butter (softened)

1 Cup Sugar

4 tsp cinnamon

1 egg (separated)

¼ tsp salt

2 Cups flour

½ Cup nuts, chopped fine

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the cinnamon and the egg yolk. Slowly beat in the flour and the salt.

Spread into a 13x9 inch pan. (Put in spoonfulls over bottom, moisten fingers, and press down.) Brush with the egg white, beaten. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes.

Tips:   I’ve made them with pecans or walnuts and both are great so you decide.

            Don’t overbake.

            Cool slightly before you cut them into bars.
