This recipe was given to me by a friend of a friend way back in 1999 -- just before our first move to Italy.

They are really quite simple to make.  I like them because they aren't too sweet.  A great accompaniment to your morning or afternoon coffee.

Ingredients

• ¾ Cup vegetable oil
• 1 Cup sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 Cups flour
• 1 Teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ Teaspoon salt
• 1 Cup walnuts or pecans (ground fine)
• ¼ Cup sugar
• 1 Teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In large bowl, beat together oil and sugar.

Step 2

Add eggs and vanilla.

Step 3

In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add nuts.

Step 4

Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix until incorporated. The dough will be heavy and sticky.

Step 5

Wet your hands with water to prevent dough from sticking. Divide dough into thirds and role each into one-inch thin rolls.

Step 6

Place rolls on lightly greased cookie sheets (I use Pam cooking spray).

Step 7

Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on tops of rolls.

Step 8

Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

Step 9

Remove from oven. While still warm and on cookie sheet, slice rolls into ½ inch pieces.

Step 10

Place slices cut side up on cooking sheet. Return to oven and bake another 5 minutes on each side.

Step 11

Remove and cool on racks.
