Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 c Flour
1 c Plus 2 T. sugar -- divided
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
3 Eggs -- divided
1 Egg yolk
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 tb Orange zest
1 1/2 c Walnuts -- coarsely chopped

1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Water

Preheat oven to 300=B0F. Grease and flour baking sheet. Using an
electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine flour, 1 C.
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 2 1/2 x
10-inch loaf, flouring hands as necessary. Allow 3 inches between
loaves on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 T.
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
1/2 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. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen biscotti.
