Melt 1 stick of butter in the microwave.

Add 2 cups of raisins to the melted butter (using both golden and regular raisins).

Mix in 2 cups of oats (a combination of quick cooking and old-fashioned oats) until well combined.

Set the mixture aside to cool, allowing the butter to cool and the raisins to soften.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1 1/2 cups of packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of molasses. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 cup of reserved oats for texture.

Combine the dry ingredients with the cream mixture and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.

Add the cooled butter, raisins, and oats mixture to the combined ingredients and mix well.

Let the cookie dough sit for about 20 minutes to firm up.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (adjusting from the usual 350°F due to cold weather).

Scoop the dough onto a baking pan, forming mounds of cookie dough, and leave space between them as they may spread.

Bake in the oven at 325°F until the cookies are done, checking to ensure the outsides don't cook too fast compared to the insides.
