Some kids hate nuts in their cookies (mine do!), but you can leave them out and add more chocolate chips, or add some butterscotch chips in their place.

These are wonderful cookies with plenty of chewy texture provided by the oats and optional chopped nuts. Make these cookies for a weekend treat or bake them for a party or bake sale.
