How to Make New Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, and a dash of ground nutmeg.
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 and 1 cup craisins (or raisins).
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. For bar cookies, bake in a greased 9x13 inch pan for 30-35 minutes.
9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
