Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies

This is the recipe on the back of the Safeway Quick Oats container. Super good!

Oatmeal cookies are my favorite EVER. Which is why I make only half a recipe since I want to eat them all. (really I should make even less, but then there is the Egg Issue to worry about).

1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter, softened
1.5 cups packed brown sugar
2 t vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups quick oats
1.5 cups flour
1 t baking powder
1 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t ground nutmeg
1/2 t salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350. Mix everything together. Drop batter onto cookie sheet (greased or lined) by heaping tablespoons 1.5 inches apart. Bake 10-13 minutes or until golden brown. Cookies will feel soft but will furm up as they cool. Let stand on baking sheets 2 minutes before transferring to racks to cool. Makes about 45 cookies.
