Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Today there is another potluck at the Temple and we are also responsible for desert besides the main dish. Well, there is always something at the potluck that is  from Costco or supermarket and I did not want the usual stuff there. I've made Oatmeal Raisin Cookies before and my husband loves those and I will pick it anytime over chocolate chip. This time I decided not to look at somebodies' recipe and make my own. I made a list of what I think should be in the cookie and was writing down the numbers as I was making the batter. There there some corrections on the volumes of ingredient as the cookie dough was coming together and result turned out lovely. Here is what I'm taking to the potluck tonight cookies and Persimmon bread

1 c soft butter
2 eggs
1 c brown sugar
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soda
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 c rolled oats
1 1/2 c raisins soaked in 3/4-1 c of hot water for 20 min
Beat together first 5 ingredients. Sift together next 5 ingredients then combine it. Once all is mixed add oats and raisins with water is the dough is too stiff. Drop large teaspoonfuls on the silicone mat and bake at 350F for 12 min. Cool on the silpad or wire rack, removing it carefully as the cookies are very soft while hot. The cookie will be soft and chewy once cooled.
Let's see what they will say at the Temple.
