The Best Darn Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (That Even *I* Like!)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in the rolled oats.

In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in the raisins.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers should still be slightly soft.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
