CRUNCHY NUT BROWN SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine all ingredients except flour and walnuts in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
• Gradually add flour until well mixed.
• Add walnuts. You can substitute any nut you prefer.
• Variation: I have occasionally omitted the nuts for chocolate chips - or used both. I would almost say they are better than the toll house recipe.
• Bake cookies for about 12 minutes on a cookie sheet.
• Enjoy!
