3 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
2 egg yolks (save whites)
6 tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla
Chopped nuts (about 1-2 c.)

Blend flour, salt and sugar. Add in butter. Mix well. Add in 2 egg yolks, milk and vanilla. Mix well. Chill 1 hour (can divide into 3 sections).

Roll dough on floured surface, one section at a time. When about 1/4 inch thick, brush with slightly beaten egg whites. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

With knife (not cookie cutter), cut into desired shapes. (Pieces may have irregular shapes.) Bake 375 degrees until slightly brown.

These cookies are a disease...once you start, it's hard to put them down.
