1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3 c. oatmeal (uncooked)
3/4 c. chopped almonds

Cream together butter and sugars. When well creamed, add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Sift together the flour, salt and soda. Add the flour mixture to butter mixture and combine well. Stir in oatmeal and nuts. Chill mixture overnight. Dough will be very firm. Place about a tablespoon of dough on lightly greased cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 12 to 18 minutes. For crisp cookies bake until lightly brown.
