EVERYTHING BUT THE BUT THE KITCHEN SINK *COOKIES*

1 Cup unsalted butter or margarine

¾ Cup packed light brown sugar

1 Tsp vanilla

2 Eggs

2-¼ Cups all-purpose flour

2 Cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned rolled oats uncooked

1 tsp baking soda

1 Tsp ground cinnamon

¼ Tsp ground nutmeg

1 Cup raisins

2 Cups semisweet chocolate morsels

In a large mising bowl with an electric mixer beat butter and brown sugar until light and smooth.  Add vanilla; beat well.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In another bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Add flour mixture to butter mixture; blend well.  Fold in raisins and chocolate morsels. Mix thoroughly.  At this point the mixture will be VERY thick, you will need a very strong hand or mixer to do this. (The first time I made this my *cheap* mixer burnt out).

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.  Transfer to racks to cool.

Enjoy.
