In a large bowl with electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add eggs and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Add oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix on low speed until blended. Add nuts, cran-raisins, and raisins and mix on medium speed until incorporated. Let dough "rest" while you preheat oven to 350º. Drop cookie batter into greased sheets using small ice cream scoop (mine is 1 1/2 inch across, this makes the cookies more uniform in size. Bake for 15-18 min or until golden brown. Let stand on baking sheets 2 minutes before transferring to racks to cool. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
