  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups rolled oats, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup wheat germ, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups raisins.
  8. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop ¼ cup of dough per cookie onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Slightly flatten.

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