Method

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon, stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, either by hand or with a mixer, cream the butter until it is softened. Add the sugars and mix for about three minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time and mix well.
Using a wooden spoon, fold the flour into wet mixture - until fully combined.
Stir in the oatmeal and the raisins.
Form the dough into 2 inch balls, you can use an ice cream scoop to help with uniformity-I don't :-) arrange on baking sheet a few inches apart, I usually get 12 per baking sheet.
