Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 pound plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger

Instructions

1. Grease 4 baking sheets.

2. Preheat the oven to 375 F.

3. Sift the flours with the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and set aside.

4. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.

5. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the oats, raisins, and ginger.

6. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. Using a moistened spatula, press the mounds of dough to flatten them slightly.
