2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon all spice
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup raisins

Steps:

Beat the eggs, then combine with vanilla and raisins in a small bowl; cover and let stand for 1 hour. Whisk together flour, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, all spice; set aside. Cream butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until fluffy and the color lightens. Then add in the egg and vanilla mixture (keeping the raisins in the bowl) just until fully incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible. (Over mixing develops the gluten, making a tough cookie.) Now add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate. Roll dough into logs and put in freezer for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350Â° Cut frozen cookie dough into even slices. Drop 2-inches apart onto baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top. Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
