Heat oven to 375
2C butter—softened
1 ½ C brown sugar
1 C sugar
4 eggs
2t vanilla
3 C flour
2t baking soda
2t salt
2t cinnamon
½ t nutmeg
6 C rolled oats
1-2 C rasins
Beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients in another bowl and then add to sugar mixture. Stir in oats and rasins. Drop by spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes. Cool on sheet 1 minute before removing.
Pretty sure this came from a friend of a friend of my mom who read it to me over the phone my freshman year at college. I needed to repay one of my very nice neighbors for fixing my car. He said oatmeal rasin cookies were his favorite and that these were the best he'd ever had. Of course when making them for myself I use 1/2 rasins and 1/2 chocolate chips.

I believe this recipe originally came from Flo Christensen, my friend and neighbor for the past 28 years.
