Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and Nutmeg; set aside.

4. Beat the butter and Vanilla until creamy. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy; about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix well. Fold in the oats and raisins.

6. Roll the dough into generous 2-inch balls. Place the balls on the cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each ball.

7. Bake at 350 degrees until the cookie edges turn golden brown; about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the baking time switch the cookie sheets from top to bottom and urn them from front to back.

8. Place the cookie sheets on a cooling rack and let the cookies cool completely before removing.
