Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry oat and flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges and just set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
