 Yeah this doesn’t fit into my typical recipe box but I want to record it here for future reference. I just made my second batch. I liked it. It worked well and I like that I know what’s in it.

I have a collection of nuts that are probably on the stale side that I wanted to use up. So off to Google I went to find a recipe that used ground nuts. This one fit the ticket.  I have the dough in the fridge and baked a few cookies the other night. They were a bit salty but otherwise delish so I recommend omitting the salt if your nuts are salted. I have removed it from the ingredient list and added a comment in the directions. They baked very soft and fluffy. Very tasty!   1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats 3/4 c. Flour 1 c ground nuts 1 teaspoon cinnamon  1/2 t baking soda 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 2/3 c brown sugar 1 large egg 1 t vanilla  Combine the oats, flour, ground nuts, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.  Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
