  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until fluffy.

  • With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture. Beat just until blended.
  • Stir in oats and chopped pecans and raisins if using.
  • Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto prepared baking sheets and flatten flightly with your hand.
