2 1/4 cups old fashioned oats (do not use instant or quick oats)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups raisins

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F Butter 3 large nonstick baking sheets.
Mix first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars in large bowl until well blended, about 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well blended, about 1 minute. On low speed beat in dry ingredients just until blended (do not overbeat). Stir in raisins.
Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing evenly apart and forming 6 mounds per sheet. Bake until cookies are just pale golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets for 5 minutes. Using metal spatula, transfer cookies to racks and cool completely. Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
