Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes).
Step 3
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats, and if using, gently stir in the raisins and/or chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Do not overbake for soft, chewy cookies.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your delicious oatmeal spice cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
