1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla with a hand held mixer until well blended. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in rolled oats, raisin, and walnuts (if desired). Drop dough by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto a cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes and remove to wire rack to cool completely.
