Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or equivalent size casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Break the oatmeal raisin cookies into small, bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the whole milk and heavy cream together until just heated through but not boiling. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Slowly pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and create a smooth custard base.
Pour the custard mixture over the broken cookie pieces in the baking dish, ensuring all the cookies are soaked. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the cookies to absorb the liquid.
Gently press down the cookies with the back of a spoon to ensure every piece is well submerged.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown on top and set in the middle. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The pudding will firm up slightly as it cools.
Optional: Sprinkle with additional raisins or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added indulgence.
