How to Make Everyday Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a floured fork.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
