1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup chopped hazelnuts (or walnuts, pecans, etc.)
1 cup raisins (optional)
To Prepare the Cookies...

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
