Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

  • With the mixer on low speed, beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
  • With a wooden or silicone spoon, Stir in the oats and raisins. The batter will be sticky.

  • Bake 1 tray at a time, on the middle rack of the oven for 9-11 minutes or until the tops look just set. Place extra dough in the fridge until ready to prep and bake.
  • Remove from the oven and cool fully on a cookie tray.
  • Dough balls can be individually frozen and placed in a bag after they’ve set. They’ll stay good for 3 months.
  • Baked cookies can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
