Bill Clinton's Oatmeal Cookies
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.

Spread oats and walnuts in ungreased 15-1 / 2 x 10-1 / 2 x 1-inch baking pan.

Cool.
In small bowl , stir together flour , baking soda and salt.
