Chocolate Chip and Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

I tweaked a recipe found on Martha Stewart's webpage to make these. They are delicious.

Recipe yields about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

* 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (I used the kind with cracked flax seeds in it)
* 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp whole wheat flour
* 1/4 cup ground flax meal
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup packed Demerara sugar
* 1 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1/2 cups raisins
* 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together oats, flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Mix butter and sugars in another bowl until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Add oat mixture; mix until just combined. Mix in chocolate chips and raisins.
2. Drop balls of dough (about 1.5" in diameter) onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.
3. Bake until golden and just set, about 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks using a spatula; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.
