Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (114 grams) unsalted butter, room temp
  • ½ cup (100 grams) brown sugar, light
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup (95 grams) all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ scant teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon fresh nutmeg optional
  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats or quick cooking if necessary
  • ¾ cup raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream butter and both sugars with an electric mixer; beat in vanilla and egg.
  • Stir together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until blended. Stir in the oats, followed by the raisins.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop up rounds of dough, packing tightly. Arrange a few inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake one sheet at time for 10-12 minutes (mine usually take 14) or until cookies are brown around the edges and appear cooked in the center.
  • Let sit on cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to Cool
