• 1 big egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 spoons vanilla extract
• ½ cup throw in the sourdough
• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 spoon baking soda
• 1 spoon ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1 ½ cups grapes without seeds
• 3 glasses old fashioned rolled oats

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
2. Add butter to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat the butter on medium-high speed until nice and fluffy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl during this process.
3. Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the mixer and beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and egg yolk to the butter-sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the egg is fully incorporated into the mixture.
5. Add the sourdough and mix again.
6. In a separate bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon. Beat to combine.
7. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on medium speed until well combined.
8. Add the raisins and walnuts to the cookie dough, mixing until everything is evenly distributed.
9. Add old fashioned rolled oats, mix until combined, but be careful not to overmix the cookie dough. The cookie dough should stick together easily when rolled into a ball.

11. Place these dough balls on 2 prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake the first sheet of cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and bake the other prepared cookie sheet.
12. Let your cookies cool on the pans for 2-5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool.
