Steps:
- Position the racks in the top and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and allspice in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Beat in the eggs 1 at time until blended, then beat in the vanilla.
- Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions until smooth. Stir in the oats, raisins and walnuts with a rubber spatula. Drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies, rotating the pans halfway through, until golden brown but still soft in the center, about 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
- In small bowl mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- Cream butter and sugars in electric mixer.
- Add eggs and vanilla beating well.
- Add flour mix, mixing well.
- Add oats, raisins, and nuts, mixing well.
- Drop tablespoon size dough on lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake 10-12 minutes.
- Cookies will be slightly browned around the edges. They will continue baking after removing from oven. Cool one minute in pan then transfer to cooling rack.
Tips:
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats. These oats will give your cookies a chewy texture. If you only have quick-cooking oats, you can use them, but your cookies will be less chewy.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. A high oven temperature will help the cookies crisp up on the outside and stay chewy on the inside.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
