Raisin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

I love no cookie more than an oatmeal cookie, usually without the addition of nuts and candy. This recipe from my Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics book produced light, thin-ish, cookies that could crumble easily. This surprised me considering you need two sticks of butter! But these aren't crispy, like bad chocolate chip cookies, these are awesome. I did not add the nuts or raisins, per the recipe.

I ended up adding chocolate chips to some of the cookies, and then some trail mix (one of the only things I would need if stranded on a deserted island), just to use more of it up before it went bad. 

A house guest ate almost all of them in two days! Also, these last for quite a while, over 10 days.
