Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 2 cup raisins

Instructions

  • Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer cream together the butter, both sugars and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes or until light beige and creamed.
  • Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl use a whisk to sift together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg.
  • Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the sifted dry ingredients beating just until fully combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Use a large spoon or non-stick spatula and mix in the oats and raisins until fully distributed in the dough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 1-2 hours.
  • Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough using a medium ice cream scoop or tablespoon. Place the cookie dough at least 2-inches apart on the pans to allow for spreading.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until golden.
  • Cool on the pan for 5 minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Store at room temperature tightly covered.
