Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup turbinado sugar (or brown sugar)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup raisins
½ cup golden raisins

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using an electric hand or stand mixer, mix together the 1 cup butter, ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup turbinado or brown sugar. Add in the 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon allspice, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 2 cups old-fashioned oats. Slowly add this to the butter mixture and continue mixing until combined.
Turn off the mixer and gently fold in the 1 cup raisins and ½ cup golden raisins by hand using a rubber spatula until they are incorporated evenly throughout the cookie mixture. Use a regular-sized cookie scoop to place the cookies on the prepared sheet pan and be sure to space each cookie apart at least 1 inch because they will slightly spread during the baking process. Place about 5 to 6 cookies on each baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cookies has lightly browned and are set in the middle. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to allow them to cool completely on a rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
