Brownie Nut Slices

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped, spread on waxed paper

Beat butter, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl with an electric
mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg. With mixer on low speed, beat in
flour and cocoa, half at a time, until blended. Divide dough in half.
Roll each half on a lightly floured surface into 7 inch log. Roll in
nuts until logs are 10 inches long. Wrap each in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm, or up to 1 wk.

When ready to bake--heat oven to 350*.

Cut logs in 1/2 inch slices. Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie
sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes just until set and tops look dry. Do not over
bake. Let cool a few minutes before removing to racks to cool. Store
airtight.
