Bake at 325°F. for 14 to 16 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Cool 3 minutes or until slightly cooled.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix coating ingredients. Roll warm cookies in coating. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled. Re-roll cookies in coating.

Use a small or mini-food processor to grind the nuts. Pulse the nuts until they are fine pieces, but do not over-process them to a powder.
Store cooled cookies at room temperature in an airtight container, or freeze them for up to three months. To freshen thawed cookies, roll them in additional cinnamon-sugar.
