1 cup softened butter
1 cup white sugar

2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda

In a mixer add butter, white sugar and brown sugar--beat. Add eggs--beat. Add vanilla, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt--beat. Add flour--beat. Add oats and chopped nuts--beat (continue with a wooden spoon if too thick for the mixer). Shape the dough into a log and wrap it in Saran wrap. Freeze the dough for 2 hours. Remove dough from freezer, unwrap the dough, then slice the log into 1/4" slices. Place the slices on to greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
