- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup organic sugar or Sucanat (can use granulated sugar)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (can use unbleached white flour instead)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars and beat until fluffy – about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
3. Add dry ingredients except raisins and nuts and mix well.
4. Stir in raisins and nuts.
5. Spoon large tablespoons of dough onto greased cookie sheets.
6. Bake until edges of cookies turn golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Cool 1-3 minutes on cookie sheet, then remove carefully with a metal spatula to a cooling rack. Cool completely. These cookies will be pretty soft until they are cooled.
Creamy Filling
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2-4 teaspoons milk
Beat all ingredients on high with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add enough milk to get desired consistency. Spread creamy filling inside of two cooled oatmeal raisin cookies. Layer in a covered container with wax paper between layers to keep them from sticking together. Store tightly covered.
These are SO good and SO sweet! Enjoy!
