ingredients

• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 large eggs, well beaten
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 3 cups rolled oats (We use Quaker Quick or Old Fashioned. Do NOT use instant.)
• 1 1⁄2 cups raisins

directions

1. 1 Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two large cookie sheets or line with Silpat, parchment paper or waxed paper.
2. 2 In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs. Add vanilla.
3. 3 Mix flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture. Stir in raisins and nuts. Stir in oats.
4. 4 Spoon out dough by large tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
5. 5 Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets. Then carefully remove them, using a metal spatula, to a wire rack. Cool completely. They will be quite soft until completely cooled. Store tightly covered.

These are THE BEST oatmeal cookies I have ever put in my mouth! My 6 year old son and I made them together which only made them better. This is now going to be one of my go to cookie recipes. Thanks so much for sharing!
