1 ½ Cups Quick Cooking Oatmeal
1 ½ Cups Flour
½ Cup Nuts of your choice finely chopped
⅔ Cup Seedless Raspberry Jam

Preheat the oven to 350.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Stir in the oatmeal and flour.
Place the chopped nuts in a shallow dish.
Put the chopped nut in a shallow dish like a pie plate.
Scoop out dough with a #40 scoop and roll the balls of dough through the nuts until the cookie dough is completely coated in nuts.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets.
Using your thumb or the back of a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon, make an indent in each cookie.
Fill each indent with jam.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Cool and enjoy!

Notes

You can use either salted or unsalted butter.
You can use any type of nut you want to roll these cookies in. You can even use a mix of nuts.
Using a pie plate to roll the cookie dough in nuts works fantastic.
Using a baby spoon to put jam in the cookies works perfectly due to its tiny size.
