Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars on high speed until light and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend and scraping down bowl between additions. Beat in vanilla.

2. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add dry ingredients; mix just to combine. Fold in oats and raisins.

3. Divide dough between 2 large sheets of parchment paper. Using paper as an aid, roll up each piece of dough into a 1 1/2" diameter log. Wrap in plastic; freeze for at least 4 hours and up to 3 weeks.

4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2"-thick rounds (return unused dough to freezer); place 2" apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

5. Bake cookies until edges are golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.
