Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

2c flour

1t baking powder

1t baking soda

1t salt

1c butter, softened

1c sugar

1c dark brown sugar, packed (you must use dark brown sugar. I think its why they are so good)

2 eggs

2t vanilla

3c oats (not instant)

1 2/2 raisins

In a medium bowl, mix four, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. In a large bowl mix butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla together. Mix on med to high speed to cream. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in oats and raisins.

On a greased cookie sheet scoop 2T worth of dough into mounds spaced ~2 inches apart. Bake 11-13 minutes at 350 until the cookies are a nice brown. Let them cool on the sheet for 2 minutes before removing onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Note: I used my large scoop which is probably ~1T. It made 3 1/4 dozen cookies that were a nice size. They took ~9-10 minutes to bake.
