Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I first found this recipe in The Joy of Cooking when I was newly married, over 12 years ago. It is the only oatmeal raisin cookie I make. These cookies are easy to make, come out soft and spicy, and warm you up when it's cold. And today, it's cold outside!

You need:

1 3/4 c. flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 sticks butter, softened
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. raisins
3 1/2 c. oats

Beat sugars and butter. Add eggs slowly, one at a time. Add vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients and slowly add to the wet mixture. Fold in raisins and oats. Bake 6-9 min. at 350 degrees.
