Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and edges are crisp, 13 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

Combine 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

Place cold butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until soft, but not melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Add brown and white sugars; mix with a metal whisk or spoon until combined, about 45 seconds. Add egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg; mix for 20 seconds. Pour in flour mixture and mix for 10 to 20 seconds. Fold in oats and raisins until incorporated, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Roll dough into small balls, about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Arrange balls 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
