Cream sugar, butter and vanilla until mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk.
Sift together flour, salt and cinnamon, stir into creamed mixture and mix well. Spread dough in greased 15 1/2" jelly roll pan (dough will be spread thin - maybe 1/8" thick).
Beat egg white until frothy and spread over top of dough. Sprinkle nuts evenly over egg white topping.
Bake in moderate oven, 350 degrees, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes, then cut in 2x1 1/2" rectangle or diamond shaped bars. I use a pizza cutter to cut. Remove them from the pan fairly quickly or they will start to stick and then they will crumble as you remove them.
