1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

3 large egg whites
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup raisins, coarsely chopped
Directions
1.
Heat oven to 375 degree F. Lightly coat baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line with nonstick foil. Set aside.
2.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; set aside.

In another large bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites until well combined. Beat in vanilla.

With mixer on lowest speed, beat in flour mixture; then stir in oats and raisins. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 15 minutes.
