Walnut Refrigerator Cookies

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

2. Add butter, egg and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until blended.
3. Stir in walnuts.
4. Roll dough into three 5-inch long rolls; wrap each in wax paper. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
