1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
2 1/2 c. flour

Combine eggs, raisins and vanilla and let stand for one hour, covered with plastic wrap. Cream together butter and sugars. Add flour, salt, cinnamon and soda to sugar mixture. Mix well. Blend in egg- raisin mixture, oatmeal, wheat germ and chopped nuts. Dough will be stiff.

The absolute BEST oatmeal raisin cookie recipe I have ever made and I have tried a lot. Our family is just bonkers over these. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
