1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. butterscotch schnaps or rum
1 tsp. maple walnut extract or walnut liqueur
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup uncooked quick rolled oats
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup raisins soaked in 1 tbsp. rum

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine all ingredients and beat to mix well.

Drop cookies 2 inches apart on well-greased cookie sheets and bake at 350°F until light brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Note: Do not overbake or cookies will be dry. They will seem like they are still slightly underdone, but the cookies will set up as they cool.
