oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies

for the fourth of july, everyone likes traditional desserts.  this cookie is soft and chewy with chunks of chocolate and walnuts.  the recipe was found in my williams sonoma picnics and tailgates cookbook, where a great number of their recipes are classic, portable, and easy to prepare.  unlike most cookies with oats, this recipe has less flour than expected compared to the unsalted butter ratio.  therefore, the cookies do spread about two inches on the baking sheet. if you are looking for something different than the traditional chocolate chip, try a combination cookie with lots of flavor while keeping a classic taste.
