Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these cookies a few days ago. I didn't have any chocolate chips so left them out. I did however have some walnuts. I'm not sure how the chocolate would be in them, but the nuts worked out perfectly.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix brown sugar and butter until blended. Beat in vanilla and egg until light and fluffy. Mix in oats, flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips, and nuts if using them. Drop onto ungreased baking sheet, about two inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes.
