Recipe

2 Sift flour, salt, baking soda. Add to first mixture and mix well. Add raisins (if using) and nuts. Add oats last. (Can melt 2 tbls of butter in a skillet and toast oats stirring constantly until lightly brown for a rich toasted oats taste - if toasting let cool before adding to other ingredients)

3 Spoon out by rounded tablespoonfuls on to greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350°F. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack. Cool completely.
