Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (165g)
1 cup oatmeal (120g)
2/3 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
WET INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup milk (120g) or 1/2 cup soymilk (120g)
1/3 cup oil, your choice of shortening, butter, vegetable oil... (80g)
2/3 cup sugar (120g, 1/2 cup is actually enough because raisins are sweet)
1/8 cup brown sugar (30g)
1/2 teaspoon molasses (optional, just to enhance the brown sugar aroma)
1 cup raisins (180g) or 1 cup cut up dried fruits (180g)
1/2 cup chopped nuts, of your choice (90g) (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (180\u00b0C).
Mix the dry ingredients well; set aside.
Put milk, butter and brown sugar in a pot of about 4 quarts, warm slightly and slowly just to melt the butter and brown sugar lumps.
Move the pot away from fire, stir in the sugar, molasses, raisin, nuts and, finally, the dry ingredients.
Let stand for about 10 minutes.
On a cookie sheet, spoon the dough and drop them 2 inches apart.
Bake 11-13 minutes until golden and crispy on the outside.
