These show-stopping, nutty cookies are a cinch to make and taste fabulous, featuring a classic combination of rolled oats and nuts. They're the perfect dessert recipe: quick and easy.

They're also very versatile; you can substitute any kind of nut for the pecans. Simple and flavorful, they're the best treat we can think of as the sweet endgame for any meal.
