Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These are my favorite type of cookies and after a lot of experimenting, this has been my favorite recipe for a few years now! Great for a summer picnic!
INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup raisins
3 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line cookie sheets with baking mat. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl and set aside. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until well blended. Stir in the flour mixture and then the raisins and rolled oats.

Shape dough into generous 1 1/2-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets. Bake 1 sheet at a time until the cookies are lightly browned all over, 12-14 minutes. Let stand briefly and the cool on wire rack.
