     Title: Classic Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Grans, Fruits, Spices
     Yield: 36 servings

     1 c  (227 g) unsalted butter;
          - softened, more for pans
     1 c  (200 g) dark brown sugar;
          - packed
   1/3 c  (66 g) granulated sugar
     2 lg Eggs
     1 tb (15 mL) vanilla extract
 1 1/2 c  (187 g) A-P flour
   3/4 ts Salt
     1 ts Baking soda
     1 ts Ground cinnamon
   1/4 ts Fresh grated nutmeg
   1/4 ts Ground cardamom or ground
          - ginger
     3 c  (270 g) olf fashion rolled
          - oats
 1 1/2 c  (225 g) raisins

 Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 Butter two large cookie sheets, or line them with
 parchment paper or reusable silicone liners.

 Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl
 until creamy. Add brown and granulated sugars, then beat
 until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a
 time, until fully incorporated. Then, beat in vanilla
 extract.

 In a separate bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix
 together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg
 and cardamom.

 Set mixer on low speed, and beat flour mixture into the
 butter mixture.

 Stir in oats and raisins.

 Spoon out dough by large tablespoonfuls onto prepared
 cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each
 cookie.

 Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, about 9 to 13
 minutes. Centers will still be quite soft, but they will
 firm up as the cookies cool. Cool completely on a wire
 rack. Store in an airtight container @ room temperature.
