Chewy Spiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

No pictures this time. In fact, I accidently burnt these cookies! But they still taste really good!
I believe the original recipie came from bakebites.com . Forgot to write that down. In any case, hurricane Ike didn't give us a drop of rain. But before we knew it wasn't coming, I had baked cookies so we had something to snack on that was tasty.
Chewy Spiced Oatmeal Raising Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups AP flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, unsalted and softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (do NOT use instant)
• 1 1/2 cup raisins

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Whisk together baking powder, flour, and spices.
3. In a seperate bowl, beat butter on medium until creamy.
4. Add sugar to butter and continue to beat for about 3 minutes.
5. Beat in eggs one at a time and beat for about 30 seconds in between.
6. Stir in dry mix to wet slowly.
7. Sir in oats and raisins.
8. Cook for about 20-25 minutes. 20 minutes was plenty for mine. Allow them to cool on a cooling rack before enjoying!

Just a note on cooking time, they may not look done, but if you leave them in too much longer, they'll burn. I also greased my pans with a cooking spray and they still stuck a little. Not quite sure how many cookies this made. I'd say about 4 dozen. I read somewhere, but didn't have time to try it, that you can make your raisins more plump by boiling them in water or juice! I'll have to attempt that next time. I also want to try beating egg whites and folding them in at the end to see if I can't make them any chewier.
