Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup butter softened
1 cup of brown sugar (sugar can be 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup of white sugar
2 or 3 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour (can use whole wheat)
1 cup ground up rolled oats
1 tsp of baking soda
1 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of each ground: cloves, nutmeg, allspice, ginger (whatever ones you have will work)
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups of oats
1 cup of raisins (or chocolate chips)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, whisking vigorously.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir in the oats and raisins, if using, folding into a tight batter. Set the dough aside for 20 minutes while the oven preheats. (Note: if your dough seems too wet to become scoop-able, chill it in the fridge for this 20 minutes and it'll firm up). If your dough is too crumbly, stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons water.
Use a cookie scoop to divide the dough into 20 tablespoon-sized balls. Roll lightly in barely damp hands to make them round. Spread out onto the prepared baking sheets and bake until puffed, golden, and a touch underbaked-looking, 10 to 11 minutes.
Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
