Bill Clinton's Oatmeal Cookies

Bill Clinton's Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

I don't know where Bill got his cookie recipe from, but they look vaguely familiar. These are straightforward good cookies. They have a slight twist in that the oats and the nuts are toasted before they are made into cookies. The flavor is very good.
