Directions:
Butter a piece of brown paper cut to fit a large cookie sheet. Preheat

large bowl; stir in cake crumbs. Beat eggs, the egg yolk, almond extract
and vanilla in a small bowl until frothy; add to flour mixture. Beat
unti thoroughly combined and mixture is moistened. (Take a little bit of
the cookie mixture between your fingertips and pinch; if the dough holds
together you have beaten it enough). Add almonds and hazelnuts. WIth
your hands, work nuts into dough until mixture begins to hold together.
Turn out onto a piece of wax paper. Divide mixture in half. Shape each
half into a log, 2 inches in diameter and about 12 inches long. Place
logs on prepared cookie sheets. Beat egg white in a small cup until
foamy; brush over logs. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes
or until golden. Remove logs with paper to wire racks. Cool 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut logs into 1/2 diagonal slices with a
serrated knife using a sawing motion. Place cookies on large ungreased
cookie sheets. Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 degrees) for 10
minutes or until centers are dry, turning once. Cool on wire racks.
