COOKIES:

1 c. butter
1 c. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
2 c. quick oatmeal
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. nut meats (optional)

FROSTING:

3 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. cooked coffee
A little cream or milk

Cream butter and sugars; add eggs and blend well. Add vanilla. Add flour, soda, and salt to mixture and add uncooked oatmeal. Add nuts and mix well. Shape into 2 rolls, about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick, using another 1/2 cup of flour. (It is easier to shape rolls if chilled 1 hour first.) Chill rolls overnight. Slice and bake at 350 to 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Frost while still warm with cinnamon coffee frosting. Makes approximately 75 cookies.
