Spiced Cinnamon Cookies

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon and baking soda. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer (hand held or otherwise). Once light and fluffy, beat in the egg yolk.

3. 3

   Gradually stir in the flour mixture. At some point a wooden spoon won't do so use your clean hands to mix until you get a soft dough.

4. 4

   Spray a 9x13 inch shallow baking pan with vegetable spray and start pre heating your oven to 325F.

5. 5

   Spread the cookie dough into the baking pan evenly and then brush the top with the egg white. Chop the pecan halves or grind in a nut grinder. Sprinkle them over the egg white brushed cookie dough,

6. 6

   Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges just begin to brown a bit. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. Cut into 18 pieces but don't remove the cookies from the pan until they thoroughly cool.
