Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 1/4 cups quick cook oats
1 1/4 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment or a Silpat (nonstick baking mat).
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add both sugars, salt and vanilla, and beat until well mixed, about three minutes. With mixer on low, beat in eggs, one at a time until combined.
In separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture with the mixer on low speed. Once the flour has been incorporated, add the second half. Stir in the oats, raisins and pecans.
Drop the dough, by the heaping tablespoon, onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on a rack. Store at room temperature in a cookie jar or other airtight container.
