"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
2 - 3 tsp. cinnamon (heaping)
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 egg yolk (save white for glaze)
Directions:
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar together. Mix in the flour, cinnamon, chopped pecans and the egg yolk, mixing until the dough has a smooth consistency. Mash dough very flat in an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush lightly with the egg white.

Bake at 325º for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cut quickly into narrow sticks before they cool. Using a thin knife, cut rows the length of the pan, about a half-inch thick. Next, cut across the width of the pan, making each cinnamon stick about two inches long. Maintain uniformity in cookie-stick length by using something to guide you like a toothpick. Place sticks on paper towels to cool. Store in cookie tins between layers of wax paper, one layer each, so they won't crumble.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I have been very protective of sharing my cinnamon stick recipe, always saying I wanted to wait to put it in my own cookbook. Well, the cookbook has been written ... so I'm finally sharing it!

My grandson Ryan is allergic to nuts so I make a batch for him without them. They are still great, but they don't taste quite the same without the pecans.
