Just the Right Size Batch of Oatmeal Cookies
10 minutes max to prep using a stand mixer, 20-30 minutes to bake

Ingredients
1 stick butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 tblsp molasses

1 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

1 cup slivered raw almonds
1/2-1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter (room temp if possible) with sugars until light and fluffy or well-mixed (if your butter is cold). Add egg, molasses and vanilla, mix again thoroughly. Mix together dry ingredients in a separate bowl, add slowly to wet ingredients. Once combined, add oats, nuts and raisins, mix until just combined.
Using two teaspoons, drop onto parchment-lined baking sheet (press down with spoons to flatten slightly). Bake +/- 10 minutes, cool on rack completely before moving to a plate.
Tasty, chewy, molasses-y, not too sweet, and full of oats and nuts that aren't so bad for you.
