1/2 cup butter is enough, and skip the white sugar, use only the 3/4 cup brown sugar and reduce the overall amount of sugar and butter for a healthier cookie...Also add a sprinkle of cloves, ginger, a dash of salt for more flavour. I let the batch of raisins soak up an ounce of rum, not much over all that amount of food.

Personally, I would say the chopped nuts fits better with chocolate-chip cookies, not oatmeal cookies.

I would highly recommend 2 eggs, not just 1 egg to keep the cookies from crumbling.
