Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

My favorite type of cookie ever is oatmeal raisin. I think it's because they trick me into thinking I'm eating something nutritious. Anyway, here's a great recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies that features a good amount of delicous spices.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt; stir into sugar mixture. Stir in the oats and raisins. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 10-12 minutes.
