- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 c whole wheat flour
- 1/4 c unbleached all purpose flour

Instructions
Prep Time: 30 minutes; Chill Dough: 1 hour
Cook Time: 13-14 minutes for each tray in 350 degrees oven.
Step 1
In a large bowl/electric mixer: add egg, butter, dark brown sugar, and vanilla and cream until smooth.
Step 2
In medium bowl: add flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together.
Step 3
Add flour mixture to sugar mixture either stirring by hand or on slow with electric mixer.
Step 4
Slowly mix in the raisins.
Step 5
Scoop dough into 1 tablespoon (approximate) size, roll into a ball, and place them about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheet. Squash balls with back of spoon into thick rounds.
Step 6
Refrigerate for 1 hour (or you can bake them right away, but they won't be as thick).
Step 7
If refrigerated, bake for 13-14 minutes, taking them out when edges are golden but still looking a little soft in the middle. After five minutes of cooling on the tray, transfer cookies to cooling rack. If you don't refrigerate the cookies, bake for 10-12 minutes. Baking times also vary depending on the oven.
