Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1½ cups (3 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats)
1½ cups raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on high for 3–4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls using a cookie scoop and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
No chill required, so the cookies come together fast!
Use real butter for best flavor and texture.
Swap raisins for chocolate chips or dried cranberries if desired.
For a slightly softer cookie, bake for 12 minutes; for a crispier edge, bake for 14.
