Oatmeal Cookies
- 1 c. flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. fine salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. ground mace
- 3/4 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 3/4 c. packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 3/4 c. rolled oats
- 3/4 c. raisins
- 3/4 c. chopped pecans
- Position the racks in the top and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350u0b0.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, allspice, cinnamon and mace.
- In another large bowl, combine the butter and sugar and with a hand held electric mixer, mix on low speed until just incorporated.
- Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy.
- (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the side of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.)
- Add the brown sugar and mix until incorporated.
- Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, waiting for the first one to be fully incorporated before adding the last.
- Mix in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer's speed to low.
- Add the flour mixture, little by little, until a smooth dough is formed (scrape the bowl down occasionally).
- Turn off the machine, stir in the oats, raisins and pecans with a rubber spatula.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
