  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the oats and raisins.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-9 minutes for chewy cookies or 10-11 minutes for crispier cookies. Keep a close eye on them!
