Directions
Preheat oven to 300℉ (150℃). Grease and flour baking sheet.
Using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda and powder, and salt in a large bowl until blended.
In a small bowl, whisk 2 eggs, 1 egg yolk, vanilla, and orange zest. Add egg mix to flour mix; continue beating until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
Add walnuts and knead 3 minutes or until walnuts are evenly distributed. Divide dough in half.
On baking sheet, shape each piece of dough into a 2½ x 10-inch loaf, flouring hands as necessary. Allow 3 inches between loaves on a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. In another small bowl, beat remaining egg and water. Brush loaves with egg mixture; sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mix.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned. Cool 10 minutes on baking sheet. Cut loaves diagonally into ½ inch slices. Lay cut cookies flat on a baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes, turn cookies over, and bake 15 minutes longer. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
