1 1/2 c. butter
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. quick or regular oats, uncooked
2 c. flour
1 3/4 c. finely chopped nuts or chocolate flavored decors
2/3 c. jelly or jam (I like raspberry)
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add oats, flour and salt (optional). Mix well. Form 1-inch balls, roll in nuts. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press centers with thumb. Fill with jelly. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool. About 4 1/2 dozen.
