1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 c. quick oats
3/4 c. finely chopped walnuts
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add beaten egg and beat until smooth. Sift together flour, soda, and cinnamon; add to first mixture, then add oats, walnuts and vanilla. Chill the cookie mixture for an hour or so.

Put walnut-size pieces on greased cookie sheet. Butter bottom of a drinking glass. Dip it in granulated sugar and flatten out pieces. No need to butter glass again, but keep dipping in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. They spread quite a bit.
