My recipe (or rather my mom's recipe) is pretty similar to most out there... Two sticks unsalted butter (room temp) 1 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 tbsp vanilla 2 tbsp water 1 1/2 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 2 cups raisins 3 cups rolled oats (ie: Quaker Quick - not instant). --- Preheat oven to 350. Use wrappers from butter sticks to grease trays. Put butter in mixing bowl. Crank up electric mixer until nice & creamy. Add sugars & mix more until well combined (fluffy looking). In separate bowl beat two eggs well. Add to butter-sugar batter, plus vanilla & water. Mix until well combined. In another bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg. Whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients to butter-sugar batter in two or three steps mixing well to combine. Stir in raisins. Stir in oats. Mixture will be kinda thick now. Now for baking. Option 1: Spoon out globs (large tablespoons) into two trays leaving a couple inches between, & bake for 10-15 minutes or so until edges turn golden brown. Alternatively, option 2: Spread mix out in a single contiguous sheet on one tray. Bake for 20 minutes. Edges will be golden brown. After removing from oven, let sit for a couple minutes then move to cooling racks. For the contiguous sheet, use spatula to cut into 2"x2" squares before removing to cooling racks. Makes a couple dozen cookies. Yum. Store in airtight container.

For security reasons, you should set them to "do not save".
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Heh. Just like real programmers who use a magnetized needle and a steady hand instead of vim (http://xkcd.com/378) I made cookies the hard way a couple times. However, the subsequent excessive & painful growth of forearm muscle persuaded me to seek alternatives before I started looking like Hellboy. :-D -- Ian
