The recipe directions I have written, I left out the walnuts. They are optional, and you can decide if you want them or not.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These are not your run-of-the-mill oatmeal cookies. They're thin and chewy. Creaming both brown sugar and white sugar with the butter adds nice flavor. If you opt to add the nuts, they do add a touch of crunch and nutty flavor. Slightly rich, these oatmeal crisps are made with ingredients you probably have in your pantry.
