Oatmeal Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 c. (2 1/2 sticks) margarine
3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt (optional)
1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg (optional)
3 c. oats, uncooked
1 c. chopped nuts
1 c. white raisins

Preparation

Heat oven to 375\u00b0.
Beat margarine and sugars until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Add combined flour, baking soda, salt and spices; mix well.
Stir in oats, nuts and raisins.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes for chewy cookies or 10 to 11 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool one minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack.
Store tightly covered.
(I always cook one pan without raisins first because Kathy doesn't like them, but Robert does.)
