Christmas Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe

Turning an Old Standard Cookie Recipe into Christmas Cookies
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are my husband's favorite cookies so, of course, our Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe must be included in the holiday baking.
I use my mother's recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, but I have pulled out my treasure trove of cookie cutters to make the traditional, nondescript cookie into a pretty Christmas cookie.
I did not change the recipe, I just changed the presentation.

Recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup Softened Butter
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
3 cups Quaker 3-minute Oats
1 cup Raisins
Directions
Beat together Butter, Brown Sugar, Sugar and Egg until well blended.
Stir in Vanilla
Add All Purpose Flour, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Quaker Oats. Stir together until well mixed.
Stir in Raisins
By hand, pat out part of the mixture onto a plate or wax paper.
Using the cookie cutters, cut out cookies and lay on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 9 minutes.
Note: Do not overcook. Cookies will be soft when you first remove them from the oven and will harden as they cool.

- Now these look delicious! The Christmas theme is fun. Of course, they are too good to eat just once a year, and I'm sure they taste wonderful no matter what their shape.
