The Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies EVAR

(Notice there's one missing in the photo! I couldn't wait!)

You need:

3/4 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar (I used demerara, but you can use white)

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp salt

2 3/4 cups rolled oats

1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 375*F

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in the eggs, then add vanilla. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, spices, and salt, then add dry mixture gradually into the butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins gradually -- mixture will be THICK!

Drop by teaspoonfulls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool about 5 minutes, then move cookies to wire rack to finish cooling.
