Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Using your hands, an electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir (or mix on low speed) dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture. Once combined, stir in oats and raisins.

4. 4

   Using two spoons, drop generous 2-tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the cookie sheets, separated by approximately 2 inches. The larger the cookie, the chewier it will be, so try not to make them much smaller.

5. 5

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn golden brown. While the edges should be brown, the rest of the cookie should be very light in color so as not to over-bake. Remove from the oven and let sit on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes prior to transferring to cooling rack.

6. 6

   Enjoy!
