This is a recipe my family has always loved - the Amish Oatmeal Cookies. If you are careful not to over-bake, you get a chewy cookie with a fabulous flavor. I sometime cut the recipe in half, but usually I make the whole recipe and freeze some to have on hand.

3 eggs, beaten
3 c. flour
1 t. soda
1 t. salt, if you use unsalted butter

1 c. chopped nuts
2 t. cinnamon
1 pkg. (12 oz.) chocolate chips

Be sure to chill the dough at least one hour and do not overbake.
