Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set the oven rack to the second lowest position.
Step 2: Cream the butter with both sugars, around 2 minutes. Add in the whole egg, egg yolk and vanilla; beat using electric mixer until completely and well combined.
Step 3: In a small bowl combine flour with next 5 spices; add to creamed mixture; beat until combined (this batter will be thick).
Step 4: Mix in the oatmeal, then the chocolate chips or nuts (since the batter is thick I use my hands for mixing in the oatmeal and chocolate chips or nuts).
Step 5: Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough, then coat the dough in granulated sugar.
Step 6: Place on a greased cookie sheet, spaced a few inches apart.
Step 7: Bake 10 minutes.
Step 8: Cool on the cookie sheet then remove.
